Does anyone heat with propane out there? I'm not sure if I should be worried but I smell a gasy smell by the floor inside my house. I called my Dad and he thinks I may be ok, but I'd like to ask others too.
I live in a trailer and my washer is right across from the furnace. Well I was down on my hands and knees looking for cat toys under the washer when I smelled something gassy like. So I sniffed by the floor a few times, then right against the bottom of the furnace cover. It's deffinatley coming from there. But when I stood up and smelled like halfway up the cover I couldn't smell anything. There is a vent at the bottom that I can smell it from, but not from the vent half way up.
We don't have the heat on, but we do have the AC on.
Dad said that sometimes they add something to propane so when you are running low you'll get a different odor, but that is usually only noticed stoves he thinks. I have an electric stove so I'm not sure. He told me how to shut it off so I might wake DH up and make him do that.
Any advice? I'm looking for the number of the people who serviced our furnace last fall. (There was a recall on a part!) I can call them in the AM about it...or maybe the fire department? I think I should at least go check the gas level in our tanks. I know it's been a while since we had them filled so they might be low like Dad said...
