When to Call for Emergency Propane Delivery
Several situations qualify as propane delivery emergencies that require immediate attention. Running completely out of propane at a home or business that depends on it for critical operations. A tank level that has dropped to zero unexpectedly due to higher than normal consumption. A propane-dependent business such as a restaurant, hotel, or laundromat at risk of shutting down operations due to low supply. A residential customer running out during extreme heat when propane powers air conditioning or refrigeration. A customer needing a fill before an approaching hurricane or major storm.
In any of these situations, call Tropigas immediately at 787-641-8002.
What Happens When You Run Out of Propane
Running completely out of propane creates a situation that requires more than just a refill. When a propane system runs dry, air and moisture can enter the gas lines. Before the system can be safely restarted, a certified Tropigas technician must perform a leak test and pressure check of the entire system to confirm integrity before relighting appliances. This safety requirement adds time to the emergency service call. The best way to avoid this is to call for delivery when your tank reaches 25 to 30 percent, not after it runs empty.
Call 787-641-8002 immediately if your system has run dry.
Emergency Delivery for Businesses
For commercial and industrial customers in Puerto Rico, a propane supply emergency can mean lost revenue, failed health inspections, or disrupted operations. Tropigas prioritizes commercial emergency delivery for active account customers. Restaurants, hotels, hospitals, laundromats, and industrial operations that depend on uninterrupted propane supply should have Tropigas emergency contact information posted and accessible at all times.
Call 787-641-8002 immediately for commercial propane emergency delivery. Active commercial accounts receive priority response.
Emergency Delivery Before a Hurricane
Hurricane season in Puerto Rico (June through November) creates predictable propane demand surges before major storms. Tropigas strongly recommends calling for a full delivery before any approaching hurricane rather than waiting until conditions deteriorate. Delivery availability during and immediately after a major hurricane is limited due to road conditions and safety requirements for our technicians. Customers who fill before the storm avoid the risk of running low during extended power outages and recovery periods.
Call 787-641-8002 before any approaching storm. Do not wait until the last moment.
Emergency Safety Protocol if You Smell Gas
If your propane emergency involves a suspected leak or gas smell, the correct response is not to call for delivery. It is to evacuate immediately without operating any switches, call 911 from outside the building, then call Tropigas at 787-641-8002. Do not attempt to restart your propane system or relight any appliance if you suspect a leak. For chemical emergency support, CHEMTREC is available 24 hours at 1-800-424-9300 (CCN692055).
For gas leak emergencies: leave, call 911, then call 787-641-8002.
How to Avoid Propane Emergencies
Most propane emergencies are preventable with simple monitoring habits. Check your tank gauge regularly and call for delivery when it reaches 25 to 30 percent capacity. Schedule a pre-season delivery before June each year to enter hurricane season with a full tank. Set up a regular delivery schedule with Tropigas so your supply is managed proactively. Commercial customers should establish consumption-based automatic scheduling with their Tropigas account manager.
