What are the advantages of choosing Propane versus other fuels?

vs. Fuel Oil
The nature of oil combustion means even the best equipment will eventually become dirty and lose efficiency. Annual tune-ups are a must, and don’t forget that smell in the basement.
Fuel
vs. Electricity
Rates in our area are as high as 19¢ per kilowatt hour. New electric heat-pumps become ineffective below 40 degrees F and traditional resistance heat can easily short circuit your checkbook.
Electricity
vs. Wood Pellets
Lugging 40 pound bags out of the basement all winter isn’t much fun. After last year’s shortage, many buyers were left empty handed, or wound up paying prices much higher than anticipated.
Wood Pellets
vs. Cord Wood
“The fuel that warms you twice” also brings dirt, termites, and soot. Between cutting, splitting, stacking, loading, and cleaning, you still need a back-up fuel to ease your aching back.
Wood Pile
vs. Natural Gas
The convenience of gas beyond the reach of a main. Natural Gas and Propane equipment work at the same efficiencies, and most gas equipment can be easily converted to run on Propane.
