Commercial Propane: Cost-Effective and Eco-Friendly Solutions

20 Ways Propane Can Help Your Business Thrive

In today’s economy, keeping costs in check while delivering the quality and service your customers rely on is essential. That’s where commercial propane comes in.

Businesses across a broad range of industries—manufacturing, construction, warehousing, agriculture, landscaping, hospitality, and more—turn to propane for its efficiency, reliability, and cost savings. At the same time, it’s easy on the environment and very safe. It’s a smart energy choice that helps you stay competitive without sacrificing performance.

Want to see the benefits for yourself? Here are 20 great reasons to power your business with propane.

Efficient, Eco-Friendly, and Safe

1. Propane costs on average 2.5 times less per Btu than heating with electricity, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
2. Compared to other heating fuels, including electricity, propane heats quickly and burns cleanly, leaving a smaller carbon footprint.
3. Propane is one of the cleanest fuels around: It contains no methane and produces minimal emissions.
4. Propane is nontoxic and can’t harm soil or groundwater.
5. Propane has a very narrow range of flammability.

Agricultural Propane Supply and Services

6. Propane provides efficient and consistent heat ideal for warming livestock barns, hatcheries, and greenhouses.
7. Clean-burning propane can be used to power most landscaping and agricultural equipment, from commercial mowers to irrigation engines.
8. Propane flame weeders deliver effective, organic weed control.
9. Propane is an ideal fuel for crop drying.

Forklifts & Industrial Needs

10. Propane-fueled forklifts can be used indoors, unlike diesel forklifts, as well as outdoors and in wet conditions, unlike electric-powered forklifts.
11. Propane-powered forklifts will operate at 100% power as long as there’s propane in the cylinder. An electric forklift loses power as the battery drains.
12. Refueling is quick and easy with replaceable cylinders and our convenient cylinder exchange service. Recharging an electric forklift takes equipment out of service for hours, slowing down operations.
13. Propane-powered forklifts handle heavy loads better and are more capable when it comes to inclines.
14. Propane can also be used to power a wide range of equipment, including welding equipment, asphalt heaters, concrete grinders, saws, polishers, trowels, dust extractors, pressure washers, small cranes, water pumps, floor buffers, and more.
15. Propane puts less wear on equipment, keeping it out of the shop and keeping your operations running smoothly.

Hospitality & Food Service

16. Professional chefs prefer gas for cooking.
17. Hotels, hospitals, and nursing facilities all benefit from propane for cooking, water heating, and space heating, as well as for industrial washers and clothes dryers.
18. Food trucks rely on propane to power mobile kitchens.
19. Resorts and country clubs use propane for everything from commercial kitchens to groundskeeping equipment.
20. Restaurants and hotels use propane for cooking and hot water as well as outdoor space heaters and fire pits.
