Propane's Versatility & Safety

Propane is one of today’s safest, cleanest and most versatile fuels. Because new propane equipment is up to 95% efficient, it’s affordable too, especially when you factor in the energy savings when propane appliances are used in place of electric appliances. For example, propane will heat domestic hot water for about 1/2 the energy cost of an electric hot water heater! The recovery time is faster with propane too.

Versatility
Propane can be used in more places around your home than any other fuel.
