Why propane?
Here are seven benefits of using propane to power and fuel an appliance or piece of equipment:
- Versatility: The list of appliances and equipment that propane can power is quite extensive and impressive. In fact, many homeowners can think of the energy source as a one-stop-shop fuel. Propane can power grills, stoves, non-wood-burning fireplaces, fire pits, space heaters, central home heating systems, pool heaters, patio heaters, forklifts, scissor lifts and generators. This versatility also makes propane incredibly convenient.
- Energy efficiency: Propane has an efficiency rating of about 95%. Making an appliance a propane appliance means you are maximizing energy use and helping these appliances operate at peak efficiency levels. This reduces your energy usage, which ultimately cuts down your carbon footprint as well as your energy bills.
- It’s cost-effective: As we mentioned above, the fact that propane is such an efficient fuel helps a home or business owner save money when it comes to energy and utility costs. The fact that a propane appliance usually needs fewer repairs and typically outlives appliances that are powered with an alternative fuel also equates to cost savings.
- Energy independence: Unlike many types of appliances, a propane appliance is not impacted by a power outage or power grid failure. In fact, propane will keep your appliances and equipment up and running all throughout a blackout. This energy independence means a homeowner can rest easy knowing that he or she has a consistent supply of energy.
- Safety: The propane industry is very closely monitored and regulated at both the state and federal levels. This helps make it one of the safest fuel options on the market.
- Eco-friendliness: Propane is a green and clean-burning energy source. Compared to other fossil fuels, it produces fewer greenhouse gases and pollutants. It is actually recognized as a green energy source under the Clean Air Act. If you are a homeowner who is looking to make his or her home a little more environmentally friendly, using a propane furnace, water heater or stove is certainly a way to go.
- It doesn’t expire: Propane does not go bad the way other fuels do. It actually doesn’t even become less effective over time. Therefore, homeowners don’t have to worry about whether or not the propane that they have had sitting around in storage has expired.
