Most of us instantly think of grills and the summer days cooking out with our families when we think of propane, but there are a variety of ways and reasons to use propane year-round.
Environmentally Friendly
Propane is rising in popularity because it’s a reliable, safe, and efficient alternative to electricity for many appliances. It has a low carbon content, so it produces minimal emissions. Because of that, it was listed as a clean fuel in the 1990 Clean Air Act as well as the Energy Policy Act of 1992. Propane also does not contaminate groundwater or soil, making it a great choice when you’re looking to go green.
High Efficiency & Versatility
Propane has an octane rating higher than gasoline and even outperforms electricity in a variety of appliances. For instance, an electric water heater takes about an hour to heat your water tank. Propane can do the same job in about 20 minutes with an energy-efficient level as high as 94 percent! If your home is equipped to use propane, a wide variety of propane-powered appliances are available to you. These are a great way to save a lot on your electric bill. Everything from clothes dryers and water heaters to ovens and ranges!
Reliable in an Emergency
So long as you keep your propane tank filled and well-maintained your propane-powered appliances will still work even if your power is out! This kind of reliability is essential to the wellbeing of you and your family in harsh weather conditions.
