LP Gas Systems & Safety

Regulator Testing & Replacement

We test LP pressure at the regulator outlet and at the appliance to identify pressure drop across the supply system and confirm the regulator is delivering correct working pressure. A regulator that’s out of specification, freezing in cold weather, or showing signs of age gets replaced.

Leak Detection

Every connection point in the LP system — tank fittings, regulator connections, supply line fittings, shutoff valves, and appliance connections — is checked with a calibrated combustible gas leak detector. A proper electronic leak detector identifies leaks too small to see or smell but large enough to accumulate in an enclosed space over time.

Supply Line Inspection

LP supply lines in RVs are typically rubber-coated copper or flexible stainless steel. Both age, both can develop cracks at fittings, and both are subject to damage from road vibration and rodent activity. We inspect accessible line runs for condition, routing, and security, and identify any sections that show wear or damage.

Appliance Feed Verification

Each appliance requires correct pressure and adequate flow to operate properly. We verify pressure at the appliance connection point — not just at the regulator — to confirm the supply system is delivering what each appliance needs. This is the step most techs skip.

Shutoff Valve Inspection

Manual shutoff valves at each appliance are checked for proper operation and condition. A valve that won’t fully close or has become stiff and unreliable is a safety concern that gets addressed.

LP Detector Function Test

The propane/CO detector inside your RV is your first line of defense against a gas leak you can’t smell. We test detector function and alert response as part of any LP system inspection. A detector past its service life — typically 5–7 years — gets noted for replacement.

Regulator Vent & Cover Inspection

The regulator vent must remain clear for the regulator to function correctly and safely. Insect nests, debris, and aftermarket covers that restrict airflow are common causes of regulator malfunction and are checked during every inspection.

Know Where Your Manual Shutoff Is

The tank shutoff valve should be accessible and operable. If you smell gas, turn it off before doing anything else — and don’t operate any switches or open flames.

Don’t Ignore Appliance Performance Changes

A furnace that’s suddenly short-cycling, a refrigerator that won’t stay lit on gas, or a burner with a weak or yellow flame are symptoms of a system issue — not just an appliance issue. Get the system pressure tested before replacing appliances.

Inspect After Storage

Connections loosen. Lines shift. Rodents chew things. An LP system that was fine when you parked it last fall deserves a proper LP gas system repair inspection before you fire everything up in the spring.

Detector Age Matters

Propane/CO detectors have a finite service life. If yours is over five years old and you don’t know when it was last replaced, it needs attention before you rely on it.
