Why Propane?

  • Propane is produced during the separate refinement processes for natural gas processing and petroleum refining. It has a tiny carbon footprint and a lower carbon content than gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and ethanol. Propane has a very high efficiency and burns very cleanly. That means less maintenance and lower operating costs.

  • Instant gas heat on a kitchen range gives you more precise temperature control and heat distribution.

  • A propane tankless water heater costs about 60 percent less to operate than an electric unit while providing a longer-lasting stream of hot water.

  • Air flow from a propane furnace can be up to 25º warmer than that generated by a heat pump, and the furnace life expectancy is 5–10 years longer.

  • In many applications, propane produces less carbon monoxide and significantly fewer greenhouse gas emissions than electricity, diesel and gasoline. See below for a list of propane appliances that are often used. (We do not sell or service propane appliances.)
