backyard propane setup Archives | Servco Oil & Propane

As the days grow longer and the temperatures rise, there’s nothing quite like spending time outside. Whether you’re grilling for friends, lounging by the pool, or enjoying a quiet evening by the firepit, your backyard can become the heart of your summer. And at the center of it all? Propane — a clean, reliable energy source that can power your entire outdoor space with ease.

At Servco Oil & Propane, we believe propane is more than just a fuel — it’s a simple way to enhance your comfort, elevate your outdoor experience, and power the moments that matter. Here’s how propane can transform your backyard and why more Connecticut homeowners are choosing it to fuel their summer fun.

1. Cook Like a Pro with Propane Grills and Outdoor Kitchens

Nothing says summer like outdoor cooking. Propane grills offer fast, efficient heating and give you the control you need to master everything from burgers and steaks to veggies and seafood. Unlike charcoal, propane ignites quickly and maintains even heat, making cooking easy and cleanup minimal.

If you’ve invested in an outdoor kitchen, propane is the perfect fuel for built-in grills, side burners, and even pizza ovens. It delivers consistent performance — without spiking your electric bill — and ensures you’re never waiting on coals to heat. With reliable propane delivery from Servco, you’ll always be ready to fire up the grill.

2. Enjoy a Warm Pool, All Season Long

A backyard pool is a luxury — but a propane-powered pool heater takes it to the next level. Propane heaters warm water quickly and efficiently, extending your swim time into the cooler mornings or evenings.

Compared to electric heaters, propane units reach your desired temperature faster and perform better in New England’s unpredictable weather. Servco delivers fuel directly to your home so your pool stays perfectly comfortable throughout the summer.

3. Add Ambiance with Propane Fire Features

When the sun goes down, propane-powered fire pits and outdoor fireplaces keep the good times going. These features provide instant, smokeless flames that are easy to control and require little maintenance.

Whether you’re hosting guests or simply winding down after a long day, propane fire features add warmth and ambiance without the mess of wood or the hassle of lighter fluid. And with regular delivery from Servco, your backyard stays lit and inviting all season long.

5. Propane Safety Tips to Keep in Mind

Propane is a safe, efficient fuel when used properly. As you prep your backyard for summer, follow these simple safety reminders:

Store propane cylinders upright and in a well-ventilated outdoor area.
Keep tanks and appliances away from open flames and flammable materials.
Never use propane appliances indoors or in enclosed spaces.
Regularly inspect hoses and valves for signs of wear or leaks.
If you smell gas, shut off the source and contact a professional immediately.
