Propane Uses

Water Heaters

If you heat your home with propane but don’t have a propane water heater, you’re missing out! Propane water heaters cost up to 30 percent less to operate than electric heaters, with a recovery rate that’s nearly twice as fast as electric models, which means you’ll never run out of hot water! Propane water heaters also need less space, have more accurate temperature adjustment, and offer more size and installation options.

Central Heating

Propane furnaces and boilers heat your home for about half the cost of electricity, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Propane-fueled furnaces are smaller and last 15 to 20 years, which is about 50 percent longer than electric heat pumps on average.

Space Heaters

Vent-free propane space heaters are easy to install and incredibly efficient. And with built-in oxygen depletion sensors, they’ll automatically turn off if oxygen levels drop too low, preventing carbon monoxide build-up. Propane space heaters also burn cleaner, with fewer pollutants and emissions than fuel oil space heaters.

Ovens and Ranges

Propane ovens and ranges are significantly less expensive to run than electric units and give you greater control for cooking, with more precise temperature control and more even heat distribution.

Clothes Dryers

Propane dryers run about twice as efficiently as electric dryers. They also cause less wear and tear on fabrics.

Fireplaces

Traditional fireplaces use an open damper, which enables large amounts of heat to escape. Sealed propane fireplaces keep more heat radiating into the room—without a woodpile mess to clean up.
