Propane is most often associated with providing heat to a home, but it can do so much more than just that. It can power appliances that homeowners use on a daily basis, offering better performance, energy savings, and convenience. Sounds good, right? Read on to learn more about propane-powered household appliances and see how your home can benefit.
Water heaters
For a family that loves to take hot showers, a propane water heater is a must. Propane water heaters warm water twice as fast as electric water heaters, meaning you can enjoy more hot water more quickly, and it won’t run out. Propane water heaters are also cost-effective. Over the course of a year, Energy Star-rated propane water heaters can save homeowners approximately 20 percent in energy costs as compared to electric or oil water heaters.
In the Kitchen
Cooking is a breeze—and delicious—with a propane range. Cooktop burners heat up more quickly and can be adjusted for perfect flame control. This can save time in the kitchen and make meals taste even better. Propane ovens also reach their set temperature more quickly than electric ovens, so you won’t have to wait forever to start cooking your food.
Fireplaces
Propane fireplaces are the easiest way to enjoy a fire in your home. With just a flip of a switch, you can light a beautiful fire that can last as long (or as short) as you want it. Propane fireplaces provide six times the heating capacity of wood-burning fireplaces and are a lot easier to maintain. In the warmer months, outdoor propane-powered fireplaces create a special ambiance to enjoy nature.
