Upgrading your electric-powered home or business to run on clean, green propane can be a great investment that will pay off for many years to come.
If you’re thinking about converting to propane, or using propane in a home you’re planning to build, here are just some of the benefits you’ll enjoy.
The benefits of propane:
- Propane appliances typically last longer and need less maintenance than electric appliances.
- Because it burns so efficiently, propane can save you hundreds of dollars a year on utility bills compared to electricity.
- Propane is extremely versatile: it can power your stove, fireplaces, outdoor grill, clothes dryer, outdoor lighting and more – and do it all more efficiently than electricity. It’s also the best way to power your backup generator (see below).
- Propane heats water more quickly for your shower, bath, dishwasher, washing machine, spa tub and pool.
- Propane can be used to power a backup generator, which will keep all your home systems (including your sump pump, home security systems, refrigerator, and more) up and running during a severe weather or emergency outage.
- Switching from electricity to propane is one of the best ways to shrink your home or business’ carbon footprint, as we discussed in our last blog.
- Propane is one of the safest energy sources around: the entire propane industry – from manufacture to delivery and everything in between – is rigorously regulated by federal DOT, OSHA, and EPA compliance codes, along with state and local fire and safety laws. Propane contractors (including our own CETP-certified technicians and Gas Check™ experts) are required to undergo extensive training to ensure their work complies with every one of those laws and codes.
