If you’ve never lived in a propane-fueled home before, you might be surprised to know how versatile it is and how many ways it can be used in your home. Not only does propane provide steady, reliable heat energy at a competitive price, but it also offers exceptional performance and efficiency in a wide range of home appliances at a much lower cost than electricity.
You might also be surprised to learn that propane is a domestically sourced fuel that is one of the cleanest and most efficient fuels available.
If you’re looking to enhance your home’s value, increase comfort, and improve efficiency, updating or adding propane appliances is a savvy move.
Propane generates more Btus than an equivalent amount of electricity, so you need much less propane to produce the same amount of heat or energy. And, you have a range of options for propane-fueled supplemental space heating. A propane fireplace brings all the ambiance and warmth of a wood-burning fireplace to any room, without the mess, smoke, and ash. Radiant, direct vent, and ventless propane space heaters all make it easy to safely and cost-effectively heat your rooms.
Water heating is a big percentage of home energy bills—especially when you consider how much hot water a household uses for bathing, laundry, and 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 nearly all year round. Fire pits and fire bowls make an attractive focal point and gathering space for entertaining friends and family. Propane-fueled pool and spa heaters will warm up the water much faster than an electric heater while maintaining 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.
When storms knock out power, a propane-fueled backup generator will keep your lights on, your refrigerator running, and everything else powered up until the utility companies can make repairs. What’s more, a whole-house generator can boost your home’s value and get you a lower rate on your homeowner’s insurance.
