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).
