Propane can get the job done
Looking for a fuel for your Montana home or business that can be used to power multiple appliances while being energy efficient? While the idea of this may seem too good to be true, Valley Propane is happy to tell you that it’s actually not. There is a solution that is both versatile and efficient – propane!
How efficient is propane?
Generally speaking, an appliance that is powered by propane is more efficient than its electric counterpart. It can get a designated job done at a faster speed while using up less energy and resources.
Just how efficient are? Let’s take a look at some specific examples:
Clothes dryers that are powered by propane can usually save a homeowner more than 20% in energy costs compared to electric dryers thanks to how quickly they dry clothes.
- A propane-powered fireplace warms up a room at a faster rate than many other types of fireplaces.
- Water heaters that are powered with propane produce twice as much hot water as electric units in the exact same amount of time.
- Propane furnaces usually score fuel efficiency ratings that can be as high as 98.5%.
Propane’s efficiency and effectiveness is great for any and all home and business owners. After all, higher efficiency means more productivity and lower energy costs.
Additional benefits of propane
You may already be sold on propane as a fuel after reading about how effective it is. However, its benefits go far beyond this.
Propane is also:
- Affordable: Propane happens to be one of the most affordable home energy sources around. This is, in part, because a majority of the fuel that is used here in the United States is also made here in the United States, which makes it very accessible.
- Reliable: Propane doesn’t need power or electric grids to run. This makes it incredibly dependable since the appliances it powers will continue to work even if there is a blackout.
- Eco-friendly: If you are looking for a clean, non-toxic and green fuel propane is the way to go. Unlike natural gas, propane contains no methane (this is an extremely potent greenhouse gas) and produces almost zero particulate matter (a known carcinogen). Additionally, when you power space heaters, water heaters, clothes dryers and cooking equipment you cut down on greenhouse-gas emissions by up to 50%.
- Safe: Thanks to strict regulations and high industry standards, propane has an impressive safety record. So as long as you are handling tanks and the fuel properly you can rest assured that you will be safe.
