Why Choose Propane vs. Electricity?

  • Clean and Environmentally Friendly: Propane is completely non-toxic and insoluble in water, so you won’t have to worry about soil and water issues if a problem occurs. It is also released as a gas, so you never have to worry about spills or a pool forming.
  • Affordability: Propane typically costs nearly HALF as much per BTU as electricity. If you’re looking to save on your energy bill, then choose propane over electricity!
  • Reliability: If an electrical outage occurs, and your home is run on electric – then you’re out of luck. But if you have a propane-powered home, you’ll still be able to have hot water, main heat, and cook your food. Continue utilizing all the comforts of your home, even in the worst weather conditions.
  • Availability: Propane is easy to find and easy to transport. It can be used no matter where you live, in the populated city or in the wide open country.
  • Warmer: A propane heating system typically gets about 20° warmer than an electric heating system. And they deliver 98% efficiency!
  • Longer Lifetime: Propane furnaces last between 5 and 10 years longer than electric heat pumps.
