Your Inter Island Propane Newsletter – Spring 2025
Hello, Island Neighbors!
The chill of winter is (slowly) fading, and the promise of spring is teasing us with longer days and the occasional brave daffodil popping up around the San Juan Islands. Sure, it’s been a rainy, blustery week—typical island weather, right?—but warmer days are on the horizon. As your local propane pros at Inter Island Propane, we’re here to help you transition into spring with some handy tips to keep your propane usage safe, efficient, and ready for island life. Let’s dive in!
Spring Propane Tips for Island Living
Practice Safety FIRST!
Propane keeps our homes cozy and our meals cooking, but safety always comes first—whether you’re in Friday Harbor, Orcas, or out on Lopez.
Review safety basics with your crew: Know the signs of a leak (that rotten egg smell!) and what to do—SAFETY VIDEOS- evacuate and call us or 911 pronto.
Store BBQ tanks smart: Keep them outside, away from heat sources, and in spots with good airflow (no stashing them in your closet!).
Leave repairs to us: Don’t tinker with propane gear yourself—give Inter Island Propane a shout instead.
Got questions? We’re just a phone call away!
Schedule a Spring Check-Up
Before you get busy with spring gardening or watching the orcas from the shore, let’s make sure your propane system is shipshape. Schedule a maintenance visit with us to check your tanks, regulators, lines, and appliances. A little TLC now means smooth sailing through the warmer months—no surprises when you’re firing up the grill for that first Island burger night!
Ease Up on the Heat
April in the San Juans means milder temps (fingers crossed!). Dial down your thermostat a few degrees to save propane without shivering through those chilly mornings. Bonus points: A programmable thermostat can sync with your island schedule—cozy when you’re home, efficient when you’re out enjoying the island views!.
Fire Up the Grill, Island-Style
The backyard’s calling, and nothing says “spring in the San Juans” like a propane grill sizzling with fresh-caught salmon or veggies from the farmers’ market. Propane grills are quick, easy, and perfect for impromptu barbecues with neighbors—or just a quiet night watching the sunset over the Salish Sea. Less cleanup, more time to enjoy the view!
Propane for Outdoor Fun
Whether you’re camping out or sticking close to home, propane’s got your back.
Lanterns & heaters: Light up the night and stay warm on those crisp spring evenings—bugs and all (sorry, we can’t fix that!).
Fire pits: Skip the smoky wood piles and enjoy a propane fire pit on your deck. It’s the perfect vibe for storytelling or stargazing, San Juan-style.
(Need a restroom upgrade for camping? You’re on your own there—propane’s versatile, but it’s not that versatile!)
Get Summer-Ready Now
Spring’s our cue to prep for summer adventures. Pool heaters for those brave June dips, outdoor kitchens for crab boils, or RVs for island-hopping—let’s make sure everything’s ready. Call us for maintenance or upgrades, and you’ll be set when the ferries get busy and the sun finally sticks around.
Wrapping Up…
From grilling with friends to cozying up by the fire pit, propane’s here to fuel your San Juan spring—and beyond. It’s affordable, efficient, and a perfect match for our island lifestyle. As your local Inter Island Propane team, we’re proud to keep you powered up, safe, and ready for whatever the season brings.
