Benefits of Propane in Your Home
April 11th, 2007 | Published in green, heating and cooling
As a highly portable fuel, propane provides you with modern convenience no matter where you live, work or travel. Propane can economically go anywhere a portable cylinder can be carried. Or wherever a propane delivery truck can travel to a storage tank.
Propane is a highly concentrated energy source. For example, the typical 20-pound container of liquid propane connected to your backyard barbecue holds the equivalent of 1,000 gallons of useable fuel.
Burning propane for fuel creates lower greenhouse gas emissions (which are attributed to climate change and global warming) than many other energy sources.
Propane is an environmentally friendly fuel. It has an extremely low sulphur content and therefore does not contribute to acid rain. Propane does not contain lead and never has.
When propane is burned, it produces harmless water vapour and carbon dioxide, two things the natural environment uses and produces every day.
Propane Appliances
