If you’ve never lived in a propane-fueled home before, you might be surprised to know all the benefits. As a domestically sourced fuel, propane is one of the cleanest, most versatile, and efficient fuels around. It 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.
Most people hear “propane” and think grills. In fact, they’re often surprised to learn how many household appliances and other equipment run off propane . This includes items such as:
Plus, propane heats quickly and burns cleanly, for a smaller carbon footprint than oil or electricity 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.
Water Heaters: Water heating is a big percentage of your home energy bills—especially when you consider how much hot water a household uses bathing, doing 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% annually!
Cooking and Grilling: 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.
Outdoor Living: 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.
Indoor fireplaces: 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!
Generators: 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.
Whether you are refurbishing your existing home, shopping for a new place, or building your dream house, or just looking for ways to reduce your fuel bills, propane provides great value.
