Read on to discover more about the amenities that you can have with propane.

Heating

A Propane heating system can’t be beaten if you want to generate heat to warm up your house. Electric heat pumps are likely to leave you chilly on cold nights, but a high-powered propane furnace or boiler will keep you and your family warm and comfy.

Water heating

Propane water heaters have a recovery rate twice as fast as electric ones, yet they are 30% less expensive to operate. When you upgrade to a tankless propane water heater, that energy savings figure can increase significantly above a conventional—and inefficient—electric water heater.

Cooking

Professional chefs prefer to cook with gas, for lots of good reasons. Propane ranges, cooktops and ovens provide precise, on-a-dime temperature control that no electric one can match. Food cooks more evenly whether it’s on a burner or in the oven when you use propane. You’ll be amazed by the difference when you start cooking with propane!

Fireplaces and hearths

With propane — whether it’s a fireplace, a fireplace insert or a gas log set — you’ll get real flames, not the dull, blinking lights you get with an electric fireplace. You’ll get those flames with the push of a button, with none of the work and hassle involved with a wood fire.

Clothes drying

If you’re searching for a quick and simple way to dry your clothes, look no further than a propane clothes dryer. Propane heat is more efficient and quicker, resulting in a 50% lower operational cost than an electric dryer. Your clothes get dry 25% faster than with an electric dryer, with less wear and fewer wrinkles. How can you not love less ironing?

Generators

Keep your home safe and comfortable with a propane whole-house backup generator. They keep the lights on, the security system operating, the food in your refrigerator and freezer at a safe temperature, medical equipment running, electronics charged, and more.

Outdoor living

Head outside, and there’s a lot more propane can do than just run your grill! You’ll enjoy pool and spa heating that gets your water warm in a fraction of the time, and at a fraction of the cost, than the comparable electric pool and spa heaters. Propane deck and patio heaters let you enjoy your backyard even if there’s a nip in the air. Create a cozy gathering space with propane fire pits and outdoor fireplaces.
