There are six very good reasons why you should consider propane for your home energy needs:
1) Propane has a wide variety of uses: heating, water heating, cooking, clothes drying, swimming pool water heating, hot tub and sauna heating and emergency generators. Propane is also used to fuel car and trucks.
2) Propane is a clean-burning, environmentally-friendly fuel that can be stored safely in residential and commercial underground tanks.
3) Propane heating equipment is designed to operate efficiently. Some equipment can be as high as 96% efficient. That means for ever heating dollar you spend, you get 96 cents worth of heat.
4) Propane heats water at one-half the cost of electricity.
5) Propane heating and water heating equipment can be installed with special direct venting systems which do not need a chimney. This will save you money on retrofitting and unnecessary construction.
6) Unlike competitive fuels, most of the propane used in the United States come from North American sources.
