SERVING YOU WITH ENERGY
Written on: January 28, 2025
Most people hear “propane” and think camping or backyard barbecues. If you’ve never lived in a propane-fueled home before, you might be surprised to know all the benefits.
Propane can provide steady, reliable heat energy at an affordable price. But propane also offers exceptional performance and efficiency in a wide range of home appliances at a much lower cost than electricity. Plus, propane heats quickly and burns cleanly, for a smaller carbon footprint and great value.
If you’re looking to enhance your home’s value and improve efficiency, updating or adding propane appliances is a savvy move. Here’s just a few of the ways propane makes the living easy—indoors or out.
Water heating is a big percentage of home energy bills—especially when you consider how much hot water a household uses: bathing, laundry, dishwashing. An energy-efficient propane water heater can help you reduce your energy costs, and perform better too. Tankless water heaters save energy by instantly heating water when you need it, rather than keeping a large tank hot all the time. As a result, you can enjoy virtually unlimited hot water—while seeing savings of up to 40%!
Nothing beats the precision and control you get cooking with gas. That’s why it’s the first choice of professional chefs in the kitchen—and on the patio. Recent stories about gas stoves and indoor air quality are a bit misleading: While natural gas stoves can potentially emit methane, a potent greenhouse gas, propane contains no methane. And, cooking of any kind creates particulate matter and affects indoor air quality, no matter what fuel is used.
Adding safe and efficient propane patio heaters can let you enjoy your outdoor spaces earlier in the spring and later into the autumn. fire pits and fire bowls become an attractive focal point and gathering space for entertaining friends and family. And propane fueled pool and spa heaters will warm up the water much faster than an electric heater, and maintain the temperature better once the water is warm. As a result, propane pool heaters help you keep heating costs under control, while letting you enjoy your pool or spa more.
A propane fireplace brings all the ambiance and warmth of a wood-burning fireplace to any room, without the mess, smoke and ash. And unlike a traditional fireplace, you can install a propane-fueled fireplace just about anywhere: living room, dining room, bedroom, even the kitchen. Imagine the luxe, spa-like glamour of a fireplace in your master bath!
A propane standby generator runs on the same propane you use to power other appliances and equipment in your home. Because it’s directly wired to your home’s systems, it will come on within seconds of a power failure to keep your lights on and your refrigerator and furnace running until the utilities get the lines back up. Propane generators are also quiet, extremely efficient and clean-burning, with low emissions. Having a backup generator can even lower insurance premiums.
