Winter and Propane

As winter closes in, homeowners are taking advantage of the many propane-fueled amenities available to consumers.

Gas furnaces produce warmer air than electric heat pumps, eliminating that drafty feeling. In addition to gas furnaces and gas-fueled water heaters, propane can fuel heated outdoor patios and driveways, standalone heaters, and even outdoor fire pits. Not only is propane more comfortable than electricity, it is cheaper and more environmentally friendly. Using clean-burning propane instead of electricity for space and water heating alone can save homeowners up to 50% on their energy bills - and effectively offsets the carbon emissions from one average vehicle!

Many consumers do not realize that propane produces more comfortable, even heat at almost half the cost of electricity. And homeowners also enjoy the piece of mind associated with knowing that their home is powered by a clean burning, domestically produced alternative fuel (propane is an alternative 'green' energy as recognized by the Clean Air Act and the Energy Policy Act).

Outdoor Heating Powered by Propane

Educated consumers, developers, and builders alike agree that outdoor propane-fueled fireplaces are a more simple, practical, and sustainable alterative to old-fashioned wood burning fireplaces. This new generation of “fire pit” comes complete with easy-to-manage ceramic logs, push button ignition switches, and other features such as weather shields for wind, and cast aluminum trim.

Not only are they practical and easy to use, consumers love that their clothes don’t smell like smoke. You can even start your fire with a remote control -how’s that for ease of use?

Other propane-fueled outdoor amenities include heated dining tables and radiant heaters located under decks or concrete patios. For more information, visit
