Being prepared for winter means making sure you have what you need to keep your home and family warm. There are many reasons why homeowners choose propane for heating:
Efficiency: Propane heating systems deliver quick, consistent warmth, and high-efficiency propane furnaces and boilers can reach an AFUE (annual fuel utilization efficiency) of 90% or higher, meaning most of the fuel becomes usable heat.
Reliability: Propane is stored on-site in your own tank, so you're never dependent on the natural gas grid. Pair your system with a propane generator, and your heat can keep running even during a power outage.
Cost efficiency: Depending on rates and your setup, propane can be a cost-effective way to heat compared with electricity.
Versatility: The same fuel that heats your home can also run your water heater, oven, stove, clothes dryer, and other propane appliances.
