It reduces energy costs.

Propane systems and appliances are typically far more efficient than their electric counterparts. For example, a propane condensing tankless water heater can save building owners or operators up to 50% on their water heating costs when compared with the costs of operating a standard electric storage tank heater.

It’s versatile.

Propane can fuel a building’s vital systems, including power generation, space heating and water heating, even if the building is located off the grid, without access to off-site energy sources such as electricity or natural gas.

It protects your power supply.

Standby generators fueled by propane enable a business to stay open during severe storms that bring widespread power outages. With propane available, on-site generators maintain lighting, refrigeration, heating and air conditioning, while propane-fueled appliances such as water heaters can continue to operate without interruption.

It provides maximum comfort.

With options such as energy-efficient propane furnaces, which heat air to a much warmer temperature than electric heat pumps, and propane fireplaces, hearths and outdoor heaters, which keep guest areas and outdoor patios inviting and toasty, propane amenities and heating systems turn buildings into comforting and appealing destinations.

It’s clean energy.

Propane can reduce CO2 emissions by as much as 50% compared with electricity in applications such as water heating because much of the nation’s electric power is generated by coal- and oil-fired power plants. Propane has similar advantages over heating oil.
