Frequently Asked Questions
How well does propane heat my home?
When compared to electric heating or wood-burning fireplaces, propane offers:
- A warm, fuzzy feeling. Literally. Propane-generated heat feels good, especially because it typically heats air almost 50% quicker than electric sources.
- Efficiency you can enjoy. Rather than heat that fades just a few feet from the hearth, propane heat is even over a much larger area.
- Cleaner lungs. There’s a reason some states have banned wood-burning fireplaces for air quality: gas logs can burn much longer without harmful emission levels.
- A pleasing pocketbook. Gas fireplaces produce more heat at much lower cost; the US Department of Energy estimates switching to gas can save you a third of your energy bill.
Why does everyone say it’s clean and green?
Propane doesn’t just heat your home. Switching all your appliances will contribute to saving both your bill and the environment.
It’s safe. Propane is an approved, nontoxic alternative fuel.
It keeps to itself. Because it’s a gas, it doesn’t spill, leave residue, or contaminate our water. And its carbon footprint is much less than fuels like petroleum or gasoline.
