Austin, TX (PRWEB) July 30, 2009 -- HBH Gas Systems and the developers of The Reserve on Lake Travis have partnered to bring clean, economical gas fuel to the homebuyers in a new upscale community on Lake Travis near Austin, Texas. The Reserve on Lake Travis is located in a rural area that lacks access to natural gas, so the developers had to choose between building an all-electric community or implementing an efficient, eco-friendly Central Gas System from HBH Gas Systems.
The Reserve on Lake Travis is located on the south shore of Lake Travis. Stretching across 300 beautiful acres of the Texas Hill Country with 3.5 miles of pristine shoreline, the home sites in this community offers fabulous vistas. The tradeoff for building a community in this amazing setting was that extending the natural gas infrastructure would have been cost-prohibitive and logistically nearly impossible.
So, the developers of The Reserve faced the prospect of building an entire community powered only by electricity - the least economical and least environmentally-friendly power source. After consulting with HBH Gas Systems, the developers realized a portion of their community was an ideal fit for a Central Gas System. The portion of the community containing single family detached condominiums had a high enough density to warrant implementing an underground gas system. The gas system will also bring dual fuels to several of the community's amenities, including the grill, swim center and spa. The swim center will also feature an outdoor gas fire pit and gas torches to add ambiance to the gorgeous lakeside retreat.
HBH Gas Systems designs and builds Central Propane Gas Systems that provide clean-burning gas fuel to homes and amenities through underground pipes - the gas is metered and billed just like in a natural gas system. Homeowners strongly prefer homes with dual fuels because they can install appliances that are much more comfortable: gas ranges instead of electric stovetops, gas clothes dryers that are more efficient, gas heating, tankless water heaters, and many more. Homeowners also prefer dual fuels because their utility bills are generally lower than if using only electricity. Central Propane Gas Systems are the most effective solution to bring dual fuels to an off-grid development.
The wide range of applications, the environmental benefits and the added comfort for homeowners are just a few of the reasons why the developers at The Reserve on Lake Travis turned to HBH Gas Systems to bring dual fuels to their off grid community.

HBH Gas Systems Announces Central Propane Tank Installation at Fort Worth, Texas Development on Eagle Mountain Lake
From October 18, 2007 --
On Thursday, October 4, 2007, Ferrellgas installed a 30,000 gallon propane tank contracted by HBH Gas Systems as part of the Central Gas Distribution System that will fuel The Resort at Eagle Mountain Lake, a golf course and clubhouse community west of Fort Worth, Texas.
The Resort on Eagle Mountain Lake is a large primary residence and resort community located off of the natural gas grid. The Developer wanted the marketing advantages of gas supplied and operated by a large, competent company that has demonstrated sufficient capacity to serve a development of this size. The team at HBH Gas Systems has unsurpassed expertise in the implementation of systems designed to serve off-grid developments.
Central Gas Systems offer the developer the option of steering their off-grid developments away from carbon-heavy electricity toward more sustainable development fueled by gas. These systems are economical, saving homeowners about 50% on their heating bills when compared to electric heating. Moreover, a recent American Gas Association study showed that most homeowners demand the luxury of dual fuels for their cooking and heating requirements. Homeowners in The Resort at Eagle Mountain Lake will have the peace-of-mind associated with using an alternative green fuel as classified by the Clean Air Act and the Energy Policy Act. In fact, one home fueled by an HBH central gas system in lieu of electricity effectively offsets the annual carbon emissions from one average vehicle.
The Resort on Eagle Mountain Lake is a 540-acre master planned, gated, luxury residential Fort Worth golf community on the shores of Eagle Mountain Lake. The Resort boasts approximately 650 single family and condominium lots, a clubhouse, common areas, and a golf course. For the serious nature lover, there are over 40 acres of private open space with nature trails, private parks and picnic areas. Also, a private island belongs to every resident of The Resort and offers additional private beaches as well as a water park for children. Central Gas Systems provide domestically produced propane to each individual home from a centralized tank; it is delivered, metered, billed, and consumed in a manner virtually identical to natural gas. Furthermore, these systems allow for the implementation of high efficiency gas appliances in place of low efficiency, grid-hogging, carbon-heavy electric appliances.
HBH Gas Systems has formed a strategic partnership with Ferrellgas, the nation's 2nd largest propane retailer and 17th largest energy company. Together, they provide developments located off the natural gas grid with clean burning, economical propane from centralized tanks. HBH Gas Systems oversaw the design and implementation of the system at Eagle Mountain, while Ferrellgas will own and operate the system. Together, Ferrellgas and HBH Gas Systems will make all necessary provisions for permanent underground metered propane gas service for this sustainable and environmentally-responsible community.
HBH Gas Systems specializes in the marketing, design, and implementation of fully-engineered Central Gas Distribution Systems nationwide. To obtain more information about this project or HBH Gas Systems visit www.hbhsystems.com or contact Harris Baker at 512-306-0073 or info@hbhsystems.com.
