Propane Delivery South Windsor and throughout greater Hartford and Tolland Counties!

Our Propane Delivery business in South Windsor started just a few years ago. Since then, we’ve installed thousands of tanks throughout our service area. In fact, we’re seeing neighborhoods with natural gas lines install propane systems, rather than switch to gas from the utilities. Most customers switch from electric heat and oil heat to propane, but we work with all types customers.

How does a propane delivery company work?

It’s not too complicated. There are a few important aspects to a propane gas system. First, there’s the tank. Second, the gas lines. Lastly, the appliance or appliances themselves. After all of that’s installed, and safely checked by our local inspectors, there’s the on-going propane delivery and safety inspections. Here’s a little bit more about each of those…

Propane Tank Systems

Deciding on what size tank you need at your house isn’t like picking one up for your grill at the gas station down the road. While they do sell larger size tanks at the box stores, you’ll pay a huge premium and may sacrifice safety. Also, those tanks really don’t store much LP, or liquid propane, relative to what you need. Each and every town has specific zoning requirements and propane storage systems must be installed according to specific safety requirements. We will sell, or lease tanks to our customers.

Tank Options

For some folks, leasing a tank makes more sense because you’re able to get your system running for a lower initial price. Other folks like to buy their tank and have us install it. We offer 1,000 gallon propane tanks, 500 gallon propane tanks, 330 gallon propane tanks, and 120 gallon propane tanks. Most often you’ll see two 120 gallon propane tanks “pigtailed” together which gives the homeowner a lot of flexibility for the long term. You can choose to have your tank buried, or installed above ground. Generally the above ground tank installations are much quicker, less expensive, and easier to maintain. However, a buried a tank offers certain benefits as well. Once you have your tank sized and the location chosen, then you need to install the gas lines!

Gas Line Installation

Propane gas line work must be done by a licensed professional. Why? Because most gas leaks happen in the piping system, not in the tanks. The lines are made from black pipe, or from stainless steel. The tubing size is different for propane than it is for natural gas. Gas lines can be 3/8, 1/2, or larger depending on your application and appliance demands. When we install a propane gas line, Imperial pressure tests your entire installation, from the tank, through the lines, to each appliance.

Gas Pressure Tests

Gas lines must be up to code and pressure tested before we can deliver propane. For whole-home propane gas installations we sometimes install two regulators to step down the pressure from high pressure at the tank to a lower pressure at the appliance. Additionally, we perform a be checked for leaks when the system is installed. Lastly, after everything is pressure tested, the lines must be bonded back to a grounding rod to prevent electrical current from causing a spark.

I recently moved to the area. I was shopping around for oil companies. Imperial was the friendliest and most helpful out of all the ones I called. Recently, I needed to get a additional hot water tank so I could finally take a shower without it turning cold. They were fantastic. Quick install and decent price. Thank you so much for being efficient and kind.

Great company - they respond quickly and do everything they can to help get you exactly what you need as quickly as you can. We own a real estate company that flips houses and rents out units, and we have always used them. They are top notch and will go above and beyond to help!

TL:DR: Contact "Advanced Plumbing & Heating, Inc." out of Newington, CT instead. I cannot trust Imperial Plumbing to perform even basic plumbing jobs, and if they screw up they will not make it right and help out their customer. We purchased our newly built house in December 2013. On November 15, 2014 I noticed there was water leaking from the gate valve located directly above the hot water heater. The water had pooled on the top of the unit and had begun rusting various parts of the unit, including the water supply connection, which is built into the unit. I contacted the home builder via email immediately after noticing the issue. The builder then contacted Imperial Plumbing who sent a technician out to fix the issue. The technician came the next day and simply tightened the leaking gate valve, called it fixed, and left. The technician had not completely resolved the issue because the only way to fix it was to completely replace the unit because the corrosion process had already begun and in a few years the rust would completely eat through the connection and cause it to leak. Not to mention, a few months later the gate valve continued leaking. Unfortunately I was not in a position to tell the plumber how to do his job. On July 21, 2016 I took pictures to document the progression of the rust to show there was still an issue. Fast forward to August 18, 20176, I went to take a shower in the morning and there was no hot water. When I went downstairs I noticed the water heater had finally rusted through and a lot of water was on the floor, so I immediately turned off the water to the unit to stop the leak. I contacted the builder that day to ask what action I should take but was informed the owner of the company would not be available for at least a week. At this time my wife was 2 weeks away from giving birth to twins so I contacted another local plumber, Advanced Plumbing and Heating in Newington, CT, who came out the next business day and replaced the unit. They also helped me out by managing to claim the failure under warranty. Only the cost of the unit was covered of course, but the labor was not. I emailed the builder notifying him of what had occurred. I recapped the entire issue from the time I noticed the leak in 2014 to when the unit finally failed. I forwarded the bill for the labor and asked if they could get the plumber to cover the cost. After a lot of emails and pictures between myself, the builder, and Imperial Plumbing's Ed Havens, which I still have copies of; the plumber has denied to take responsibility by stating the labor is only covered for up to 1 year. This is not a valid reason because I initially brought the issue to their attention in November 2014, which was under a year, and they failed to completely resolve the issue at that time. The plumber also states that because the unit was replaced under warranty that it must be an issue with the unit from the factory. This is not the case because the issue is only due to improper installation of the gate valve above the heater which leaked and caused the heater to eventually rust through and fail. The builder in this case has simply been the middle man and has been as helpful as possible, they have even gone above and beyond and offered to cover roughly half the cost of labor which should be the responsibility of Imperial Plumbing, not the builder. UPDATE: Imperial has posted a response claiming they will review the issue and attempt to resolve it. If anything changes I will update.

The guys at Imperial are great. I’ve been a customer for 6+ years for oil delivery. Last year they set me up with a propane tank for my gas fireplace and I couldn’t be happier. Also, we’re planning a bathroom renovation this summer and I’ll use Imperial for all the plumbing work. Thanks for being such a great company!
