Have you been dealing with less-than-reliable home heating in recent years? What about energy bills that keep creeping higher winter after winter?
If your heating system is getting up in years and not doing its job like it should, it could be time to explore propane-powered alternatives. Tevis Energy helps households in Schuylkill County and elsewhere in Southern Pennsylvania and nearby Mid-Atlantic communities to look into propane heating options, get them installed and safely connected, maintain the equipment for peak performance and provide the most dependable home propane delivery in the region.
Here are some of the benefits of choosing propane for your home’s heating equipment.
Today’s propane heating systems boast amazing efficiency ratings — often in the range of 98%! So virtually all the heat energy produced in combustion goes to heating your home, and very little escapes out your chimney.
And propane really delivers in the heating department. One gallon of propane can produce an impressive 91,452 Btu of heat. That’s more than double what natural gas can manage per cubic foot. A propane furnace can consistently deliver air heated to 120°F. That comes in hand during a frigid winter night!
Did you know that the overwhelming majority of propane used in the country is produced in the U.S.? It’s true, and this propane primarily comes from the same production stream as natural gas and refined oil. No new wells need to be drilled to get it.
This domestic supply also means that propane’s price is less vulnerable to the ups and downs of global energy markets. It tends to be stabler, price-wise, than energy sources that geopolitical events on the other side of the world can disrupt.
Propane is especially crucial for homes that don’t have access to reliable gas utilities. You can store your fuel in a safe on-site propane tank that’s sized to your precise energy needs.
And the process is stress-free with Tevis doing the work for you. Our customers love leasing tanks from us. You avoid high upfront costs, and our team handles everything. We’ll select an appropriate storage size and the ideal location. We then place the tank, connect it to your home and perform rigorous safety testing. For our tank lease customers, upkeep and replacements are handled by Tevis as part of the contract.
Plus, we provide free automatic delivery. We’ll refill your propane right when you need it without you having to contact us to schedule a delivery. And we offer a no-runout guarantee!
Propane does so much more than home heating. It can power you to a new level of home comfort and convenience. Propane fuels some of the most efficient water heaters around, including tankless units, which provide virtually endless hot water on demand while running up to 34% more efficiently than storage tank units. It adds up to longer showers and lower energy spending.
Propane standby generators protect you from grid power losses. They switch on automatically during a blackout and can power a whole home for extended periods.
Then there are high-performances propane stoves, dryers and hearth products that make your home more comfortable and livable. Outside, propane powers pool heaters, fire pits, grills, patio heaters and more!
