My goal is , to help make you "propane smart," by informing you of the overwhelming advantages of using propane as the main home energy source.
Why is propane gas better than electric?
HOME HEATING
FACT: With propane gas you can heat two (2) houses using the same amount of energy it takes to heat just one (1) house using electricity.
FACT: You can build more of a house when you heat with propane gas. Why? It's simple, low monthly utility payments equals more money in your pocket.
HOT WATER
FACT: Hot running water is a luxury you might take for granted until you run out -- or until you receive your electric bill. Propane gas generates nearly twice as many gallons of hot water as electricity for the same price.
FACT: Propane gas water heaters "recover" faster than electric water heaters (30 gallons per hour with a typical propane gas model compared to 18 gallons per hour for most electric models). You'll never have to worry about running out of hot water.
CLOTHES DRYING
FACT: A propane gas clothes dryer is the fastest and most economical dryer on the market today. It completes the drying task in 3/4 of the time it takes an electric dryer.
FACT: A dryer requires precisely the same number of BTU's regardless of which fuel you use. 30 minutes of drying time in a large capacity electric dryer will cost 41 cents. The same load of clothes dried in a large capacity propane gas dryer costs only 16 cents. So drying with electricity costs more than twice as much as drying with propane gas.
COOKING
FACT: No other range and oven fueled by any other form of energy surpasses propane gas models. For example, broiling is smokeless since the gas flame consumes any smoke that might occur in the cooking operation.
FACT: Turn down the flame on a propane gas range, and it's down! With an electric range the coils are still red hot -- and wasting energy.
FACT: Even when the electricity goes off you can still prepare a meal and make a cup of coffee on a propane gas range.
Specialty Uses for Propane Gas
LIGHTING: When the power goes out at night what's still burning bright
FIREPLACES: There's more to a maintenance-free propane gas fireplace than beauty. They produce an extreme amount of heat--without the insects, soot, smoke or ashes.
GRILLING:
Transform a patio or deck into a second kitchen. A propane gas grill provides all the flavor without the long warm-up time. What's more, they can be used year 'round.
SPAS:
Hot tubs and spas have been made more affordable through the efficiency and economy of propane gas. They reach temperature cost effectively in a matter of minutes instead of hours.
