Millions of consumers rely on their home-heating energy source for warmth and comfort during the winter months. They also count on their fuel providers and other experts to properly maintain reliable and consumer-friendly technology -- inside and outside of the home.

Otodata tank monitors provide real-time data on propane levels, allowing for timely refills and preventing unexpected runouts that otherwise could leave homeowners without heat during freezing temperatures.

As many parts of the nation prepare for the coldest months of the year, your partners at Otodata want to ensure both fuel providers and consumers are armed with valuable information to keep families warm and safe.


Here are top tips for fuel providers:

  • Ensure Monitor and Antenna Placement:  It’s important that propane tank monitors are securely attached and positioned correctly. Exposure to harsh weather or high winds can sometimes shift the monitors, affecting their efficiency. Now is also the time for retailers to ensure the antenna is positioned vertically.

  • Take Advantage of our Online Portal: The amazing tool will help optimize delivery routes and schedules, ensuring timely refills and enhancing overall service reliability during high-demand winter periods.

  • Offer Convenience and Peace of Mind: With access to propane levels via the NEE-VO mobile app, customers can monitor their fuel status from anywhere, eliminating the need for manual checks and providing assurance that their heating needs are consistently met. Consumers should have contact information for service providers in case of monitor failure or extreme weather affecting the system.

  • Encourage customers to clear snow, ice, and other obstructions leading to their propane tank:This helps with accessibility for refilling and maintenance. Likewise, technicians should take the time to carefully remove any snow build-up on the monitor and the tank during their visits.

Your partners at Otodata wish you a safe and successful winter season.
