Efficiency
Propane's high BTU (British Thermal Unit) content, combined with the efficiency of propane equipment, makes it one of the most economical energy choices available. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, propane costs nearly half as much per BTU as electricity over time. This means you get more energy for your money with propane, making it a cost-effective solution for heating, cooking, and powering various appliances in your home.
Environmentally Friendly
Propane is officially classified as an Alternative Green Energy by the Clean Air Act of 1990. Here are some reasons why propane has earned its green status:
- Reduced CO2 Emissions: Propane appliances produce up to 60% less CO2 than electric appliances and 40% less CO2 than wood-burning appliances.
- No Methane: Unlike natural gas, propane contains no methane. Methane is significantly more potent than CO2 in contributing to atmospheric warming, making propane a cleaner choice.
- Safe for Soil and Water: Propane poses no contamination threat to soil or water because it cannot remain in a liquid state outside a pressurized tank. This makes it an environmentally safe energy source.
