Question 2

What propane appliances can I use in my home?

Accepted Answer

Furnaces: Propane stands as the superior choice for rapid, consistent and efficient home heating. The latest propane furnaces exhibit remarkable efficiency, reaching up to 98%. This means that nearly all the propane you invest in is devoted to heating your home, with just a negligible two cents lost in combustion. By transitioning to a new propane heating system, you can immediately reap the benefits of reduced energy expenses!
Water heaters: After heating and cooling, heating water in the home stands as the second largest energy expenditure, constituting around 20% of annual energy bills.
Propane water heaters offer exceptional comfort and substantial energy cost savings. With just a 40-gallon propane storage tank, they can deliver the same volume of hot water per hour as a 50-gallon electric model.
Upgrade your water heating experience with enhanced comfort and convenience, all while reducing your energy bills. Switch to a propane tankless water heater for on-demand hot water. This innovative solution not only saves you money but also ensures a constant supply of hot water whenever you need it.
Fireplaces: Get comfortable, cozy warmth simply by pushing a button with a propane fireplace! You get ease and convenience with none of the hassle, mess or bad air of a traditional wood-burning fireplace.
Generators: Power outages can create significant challenges and pose potential risks at your home. A propane whole-house standby generator provides a reliable power source for a range of appliances and equipment. From your HVAC system and refrigerator to electronic devices and essential medical equipment like CPAPs, it ensures your family’s comfort and safety. With a whole-house generator, you can rest assured that you’ll have the power you need when you need it, without any interruptions.
Space heaters: Propane is a versatile fuel that goes beyond whole-house heating. It excels at efficiently warming up unheated or underheated areas like workshops, sunporches, garages and sheds. When compared to electric heaters, propane space heaters offer superior comfort and efficiency.
Ranges, cooktops and ovens: Propane is not only a secure and reliable energy source for cooking, but it is also versatile enough to be used in areas where access to a gas utility is limited. Its dependability and safety make it an excellent choice for those seeking an efficient and effective cooking solution, regardless of location.
Using propane for cooking offers numerous advantages, particularly in terms of precise and rapid temperature control, leading to optimal cooking results. In contrast, electric ranges require more time to heat up and cool down. Moreover, propane ovens provide increased moisture, preventing roasts and turkeys from drying out, which is not the case with electric ovens.
Clothes dryers: Doing laundry is a tedious task that we all strive to complete swiftly. Enhance the efficiency of your laundry routine with a propane clothes dryer. Not only does it reduce drying time, but it minimizes wrinkles and wear when compared to an electric dryer. This allows you to enjoy fresh and clean clothes in less time, with fewer touch-ups needed.
Outdoor living: Propane offers numerous advantages for both indoor and outdoor applications. For instance, utilizing a propane grill is significantly more convenient than charcoal, as it can be ready for grilling in under five minutes, compared to the 30 minutes required for a charcoal fire. Moreover, propane grills provide precise temperature control, allowing you to cook various types of food to perfection. With these benefits, propane stands as an excellent choice for all your grilling needs.
Enhance your outdoor living experience with the versatility of propane. From high-efficiency pool and spa heaters to deck and patio heaters, firepits, insect traps, outdoor lighting systems and outdoor fireplaces, propane offers you the opportunity to make the most of every moment in your backyard. Embrace the convenience and enjoyment that propane brings to elevate your outdoor space.
