GOOD VALUE

Propane is Energy Efficient.

Propane provides great value because it burns hotter and more efficiently than many other energy sources, powering a variety of high performance and energy efficient appliances.

• A propane furnace can heat air up to 25 degrees warmer.
• Propane tankless water heaters can reduce standby energy loss by up to 20 percent and cost approximately 60 percent less to operate.
• Propane gives off less than half of the greenhouse emissions compared to electricity.
• Propane appliances have a shorter energy savings payback period (the time it takes for an appliance to pay for itself via energy savings).*
