On our facility we have a 30,000 gallon storage tank, a brand new office and a 40x60 shop for all your propane equipment repairs!   Al Griffeth (owner/ operator),  has been in the propane industry since he was 13 years old....He built the first propane company in Humpreys County, which was then named Humphreys County Propane...after it was built he owned and worked it with his business partners..He later sold off his interest and went to work for a Company called Trans Tech Energy in North Carolina...He than actually built all the big commerical terminals for big companies like Ameri Gas, Suburban, Ferrell Gas...But it was time to come off the road and settle in with his family as his boys were going up fast. It only made sense to us to open another retail/commercial propane company!!! so here we are Combustion Services.

What is propane? 

Propane is a hydrocarbon (C3H8) and is sometimes referred to as liquefied petroleum gas, LP-gas, or LPG. Propane is produced from both natural gas processing and crude-oil refining. Nearly 97 percent of propane used in the United States is produced in North America. It is nontoxic, colorless, and virtually odorless. As with natural gas, an identifying odor is added so the gas can be readily detected.

Who uses propane?

  Propane is used by more than 12.6 million U.S. households for space heating and other purposes and by millions of other Americans for agricultural, commercial, industrial, and transportation applications.

Yes. Propane is a very safe fuel. But as with any energy source, there are steps you should take to further ensure your safety:

• If you detect a gas leak, immediately evacuate everyone from the house and call your local propane provider or the fire department from a neighbors telephone.
• Learn what propane smells like. Propane retailers print scratch-and-sniff pamphlets to help your family recognize its distinctive odor.
• Know where gas lines are located, so you wont damage them when digging or working in the yard.
• Change or clean furnace filters regularly as recommended by the manufacturer.
• Dont store cleaning fluids, oil-soaked rags, gasoline, or other flammable liquids near a gas-burning appliance, where vapors could be ignited by the pilot light.
• Propane has a strong, unpleasant smell, like rotten eggs, a skunks spray, or a dead animal. Propane manufacturers add the smell deliberately to help alert customers to propane leaks, which can create a safety hazard. You can ask your propane retailer for a demonstration to help everyone in your home or building identify leaks.
• Never modify or repair a propane appliances valves, regulators, connectors, controls, or a propane tanks cylinder or parts. Instead, immediately call your propane retailer or a qualified service technician. They can inspect, adjust, repair, or replace any part of your propane system. Remember, your propane system incorporates special components to keep them safe for use. 
• Generally, a 500-gallon tank can hold enough propane to meet the annual energy needs of an average four-bedroom home. Tanks of 1,000 gallons or more may be needed for large homes with swimming pools and hot tubs.
