HBH Gas Systems and JARSCO Gas Utilities have joined in a strategic partnership to develop, manage and maintain Central Propane Gas Systems.
Central Gas Systems serve entire communities from a single, centralized propane tank. They allow developers working off of the natural gas grid to offer the benefits of gas to homeowners. Each system allows all the homes in the community to be supplied with propane from a single facility, eliminating the need for individual tanks.
These systems are economical, saving homeowners about 50% on their heating bills when compared to electric heating. Moreover, a recent AGA study showed that most homeowners prefer the luxury of duel fuels for their cooking and heating requirements. Propane can power everything from space and water heaters to clothes dryers to environmentally friendly lawn equipment. Homeowners in a community served by Central Gas System 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 such a system instead of electricity effectively offsets the carbon emissions from one average vehicle.
Together, HBH Gas Systems and JARSCO are capable of maintaining Central Propane Gas Systems in the U.S. and abroad. HBH Gas Systems specializes in the marketing, design, and implementation of fully-engineered Central Gas Distribution Systems worldwide. HBH gas systems serve developments of all sizes with homes built by established national, regional, and custom builders.

HBH Gas Systems Raises $3.2 Million to Develop Centralized Propane Systems
From September 5, 2007:
Austin, TX (PRWebDirect) September 5, 2007 -- HBH Gas Systems is proud to announce a successful capital campaign toward the expansion and development of centralized propane systems, raising $3.2 million from a group of central Texas investors. The well-established company is currently expanding a nationwide sales team, broadening marketing efforts and an awareness campaign aimed at developers, land planners, utility consultants, and engineers.
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 developers which have projects located off the natural gas grid with clean burning, economical metered propane gas from a single, centralized tank that is delivered through conventional underground mains. Tony Dale, Vice President of Business Development for Ferrellgas, stated, "The partnership between HBH Gas System and Ferrellgas is one which plays well to the strength of each organization. HBH’s strong experience with developers and the construction industry fills a gap for Ferrellgas, and the decades-long propane retailing and safety experience of Ferrellgas completes the package. We look forward to many more years of continued success working together."
Harris Baker, the President of HBH Gas Systems, said, “I really couldn't be happier with the way we have been able to develop our relationship with Ferrellgas. Our central gas systems support sustainable development by providing countless social, economic, and environmental benefits to homeowners and communities nationwide.” Together, HBH Gas Systems and Ferrellgas have become the nation’s leading provider of Central Gas Distribution Systems. One week ago, HBH Gas Systems announced their most recent system at Montesoro, a large, private residential development located northeast of San Diego outside of Borrego Springs, California. Mr. Baker said, “The success of this campaign speaks clearly of HBH Gas Systems’ continued growth in both the near and long term. We are confident that our increased marketing efforts and our awareness campaign will bring even more new central gas systems to customers across the nation.” The group of investors includes established real estate industry veterans and others with years of marketing experience. “Our investors will add to our focus and core of knowledge while providing insight and valued guidance. The enthusiasm of our investors motivates
our efforts and lends credibility to our concept.”
An HBH Gas System allows developers working off of the natural gas grid to offer the benefits of underground metered gas to homeowners. These systems are economical and efficient, saving homeowners about 50% on their heating bills when compared to electric heating. Moreover, a recent AGA study showed that most homeowners demand the luxury of dual fuels for their cooking and heating requirements. Propane can power everything from environmentally friendly lawn equipment to space and water heaters. Homeowners in a community served by an
HBH Gas System 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 Gas System instead of coal-based electricity effectively offsets the annual carbon emissions from one average vehicle.
HBH Gas Systems specializes in the marketing, design, and implementation of fully-engineered Central Gas Distribution Systems. Each system allows all the homes in the community to be supplied with propane from a single facility, eliminating the need for individual tanks. The gas is distributed, metered, serviced and billed just like natural gas. Central Gas Distribution Systems provide developments with the economic convenience and efficiency of an environmentally responsible gas product endorsed by the EPA as an alternative fuel. HBH Gas Systems has formed a strategic alliance with Ferrellgas, the 2nd largest propane retailer and 17th largest energy company in the United States, facilitating the centralized delivery of gas to new home customers and provides central gas system consulting and construction services to select US and international companies.

HBH Gas Systems Announces New Environmental Impact Statistics for Central Propane Distribution Systems
From August 29, 2007 --
HBH Gas Systems has announced new environmental statistics for their off grid central propane distribution systems. Their new statistics are based largely on a recent study conducted by Energetics, Inc. for the Propane Education and Research Council (PERC). HBH Gas Systems specializes in the marketing, design, and implementation of fully-engineered Central Gas Distribution Systems. Each system allows the homes in an off grid community to be supplied with propane from a single facility, eliminating the need for individual tanks. The gas is distributed, metered, serviced and billed just like natural gas.
HBH Gas Systems has partnered with Ferrellgas to provide developments located off the natural gas grid with clean-burning propane from a single tank. Central gas distribution systems provide developments with the economic convenience and efficiency of an environmentally responsible gas product endorsed by the EPA as an alternative green fuel.
A single home using an HBH Gas System for water and space heating in lieu of electricity eliminates approximately 8.5 tons of carbon emissions per year, effectively offsetting the carbon emissions from one average vehicle. Fueling the water and space heating requirements of an average 500 home development with a central propane system instead of electricity offsets about 4,250 tons of carbon emissions per year. Propane is an EPA approved alternative energy per the Clean Air and Energy Policy Acts.
Propane-powered water heaters produce 60% less carbon emissions than electric powered water heaters. Propane is non-toxic and insoluble, so it offers minimal risk to aquifer and ground water supplies. In addition, 30 houses with wood-burning fireplaces create as much particulate pollution as 30,000 houses with gas fireplaces.
