Quick answers

Can I store my propane tank in the garage for the winter?

No. State fire marshal guidance on the fire code says cylinders larger than 1 pound must not be stored or used indoors at a home, including attached and detached garages. Leave the 20-pound grill tank outside, upright, with its valve closed.

Should patio furniture be stored inside or covered outside for winter?

Inside is best for cushions, fabric and anything that holds water; sturdy metal or resin frames can stay out under breathable covers. Clean and dry everything first so mildew does not start in storage, and keep stacked chairs off bare ground.

What should I check on a gas grill before using it again in spring?

Check the gas tank hose for leaks before the first use each year, NFPA advises: brush a light soap and water solution on the hose, and bubbles mean a propane leak. If a leak does not stop after the tank and grill are turned off, call the fire department.

What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site

How it works

  1. Walk the patio with you and decide what goes inside, what gets covered and where it will fit
  2. Clean and dry furniture and cushions so they do not mildew in storage
  3. Close the grill tank valve, disconnect the tank and set it upright outdoors, then stack, cover and label everything else
  4. Referred out: natural gas grills piped to the house, gas fire pits and leaking hoses or regulators go to a licensed gas contractor or the grill's service provider

When to stop and call

If you smell gas near the grill, turn off the tank valve, move away and call the fire department. 24/7 Express Handyman Service can handle the rest of the patio once the grill is safe, but never works on gas lines or regulators.

What happens next

Every job 24/7 Express Handyman Service takes on is under $3,000 including labor, materials and any change orders (Utah Code §58-55-305); a change that would push a job over that line is referred to a licensed contractor, not written up as a second job. plumbing, electrical, HVAC, gas appliance / combustion system work is referred to a licensed trade.
