HANOVER, MA…

Some things just go together. Silver and gold. Salt and pepper. Bacon and eggs. In the contracting world, one of those combinations is heating and plumbing and propane gas. Hence E.J. Geswell Plumbing & Heating LLC’s recent announcement of its new sister company Pilgrim Propane.

“We’ve been in the heating and plumbing business for 25 years and propane is an integral part of many of the installations we do. For example, gas logs and fireplaces, heating for indoor and outdoor pools and home heating systems in general,” said Ed Geswell, Jr., Pilgrim Propane owner. “Being able to supply the propane for the people we do installations for allows us to ensure the smooth operation of those installs, plus continue the relationship with those customers.”

In operation since early last year, Pilgrim Propane serves all of Plymouth County and parts of Norfolk and Bristol counties.  In addition to installations, Pilgrim Propane leases 50- to 1,000-gallon propane tanks and will fill tanks up to 1,000 gallons.

As part of the launch of the new company, Pilgrim Propane is offering a new customer special of $25 off of a fill up of 30 gallons or more.

“Propane has become a very popular and affordable way to heat your home,” said Geswell. “We’re positively thrilled to bring this additional service to our existing customer base and to other South Shore homeowners who heat their homes with propane.”

A 34-year resident of Hanover, Geswell holds an MBA from Suffolk University and an undergraduate degree from Boston College. He owns and operates both family businesses with his son Edward J. Geswell, III.

Tanks for the Safety…New invention, the Tank Nanny, takes Propane Tank Safety seriously.

HANOVER, MA …

How do you get that propane tank refill home safely?  Do you prop it up in the back seat in between your groceries and the dry cleaning?

Probably not the best plan. Nor does it create peace of mind.

The new and stylish Tank Nanny (manufactured in a rainbow of colors and also ready for private labeling) prevents propane tanks from rolling over or tipping during transportation.  The 20-inch sturdy plastic device allows you to buckle in your tank for unstoppable protection.  The innovative device has been tested at 35 miles per hour emergency stopping speed and has proven to be rock solid, stable.

Tank tantrums are over. Tanks will no longer rocket around in the bed of a pickup, rust will no longer stain your car interior, and gone is the rolling hazard in an emergency breaking situation.

There are no screws, bolts, or assembly. The Tank Nanny is ready to go without any hassles. The Tank Nanny will not retain water, helping to prevent rust buildup on your tank.

The attractive Tank Nanny is made of 80 percent recycled plastic and weighs a portable four pounds.  Actual dimensions are 20 inches by 20 inches by 9 inches. The simple device looks like a large dog dish without the bottom.

In addition to using recycled plastic, the Tank Nanny is donating one tree for every unit sold.

Tank Nanny is the “invention” of Norwell resident Earl Cogswell, Jr. He came up with the ideas while working at his father-in-law’s Dick’s Power Equipment shop based in Hanover.  Earl saw customer refilling propane tanks and then trying to prop up the tank in their back seat by using the groceries and whatever else they had on hand.  He knew there had to be a better solution.

Propane-tanks are being sold at a record pace for outdoor home cooking, to heat pools, run fireplaces, RV, sporting events, tailgating, heating, mosquito control, welding and even power outdoor lighting.  According to National Propane Gas Association a propane gas tank must always be kept upright.  New propane transportation safety device like Tank Nanny comply with national/local guidelines and regulations.

Suggested retail pricing for the Tank Nanny is $18.95.  The Tank Nanny can be found at Amazon.com and will soon be available at leading home improvement stores, hardware stores, convenience stores, power tool outlets, camp grounds and other locations that offer propane refill services.
