While many people have heard of propane, most don’t really know much about it. This can lead to misunderstandings about this versatile, clean-burning, and cost-effective energy source. At Holtzman Propane, we’re here to put these myths to rest and share why propane is a smart choice for homes and businesses.
Myth #1: Propane and natural gas are the same thing.
Natural gas is a fossil fuel that is drilled from the ground and delivered to homes and businesses as a vapor through a pipeline. Propane, on the other hand, is a liquid byproduct of natural gas processing that is delivered to users by filling tanks on their properties. This difference makes it so that propane can be delivered to practically any home or business, regardless of existing pipelines.
Myth #2: Propane is bad for the environment.
Propane is a clean energy source, meaning it produces fewer carbon emissions than other energy sources, such as gasoline or electricity. It’s also non-toxic; if propane escapes into the air, it vaporizes quickly and does not affect the surrounding water or air.
Myth #3: Propane has limited uses around the house.
Propane can be used in many ways in the home. It can provide heat through a furnace, fireplace, or even an outdoor firepit, and can be used for cooking in ranges, ovens, and outdoor grills. Propane water tanks heat water on demand, providing immediate and continual hot water, and propane-powered clothes dryers work more efficiently than electric dryers. In addition, a propane generator can provide back-up power for the whole house when the electricity goes out.
Myth #4: Propane is expensive.
In many areas of the country, propane is less expensive than natural gas or electricity. And since propane is extremely energy-efficient, you won’t have to use as much of it to power your home. Holtzman Propane also offers custom payment plans, pre-buy, and lock-in programs that allow customers to receive a discounted rate.
