Why Propane is the Heart of an Energy-Efficient Home

There are many small steps homeowners can take to be more energy-efficient: using LED lightbulbs, installing a smart thermostat, lowering water temperature, and more. But if you want to make a big difference in your home’s energy efficiency, switching your energy source to propane is one of the most impactful things you can do. As a versatile and reliable energy source, propane makes being energy efficient easy.

Propane burns nearly completely.
When you use propane in your home, you are making the most of every drop. The combustion process that converts propane into energy is highly efficient, turning nearly all of the propane in your tank into usable energy, helping reduce waste and lower fuel costs.

Propane offers hotter and faster heat.
One of the things homeowners love most about propane is that it warms the home quickly and delivers a more consistent, warmer heat. This means that furnaces don’t have to run as long to reach the desired temperature. And colder temperatures don’t impact the heating capacity of propane furnaces, so they can continue to serve up a nice toasty home in an efficient manner, no matter what the weather is like outside.

Propane allows for precise temperature control.
Rather than heating the whole house, propane fireplaces can provide heat just where you need it. Why heat the dining room when you’ll just be eating dinner in front of the TV anyway? Propane stovetops let you control the temperature, so you can adjust the burners to keep the flame at the precise level you need as you prepare your meals.

Propane appliances are highly efficient.
While propane is an efficient energy source, propane appliances—for example, furnaces, water heaters, dryers, and ranges—are also built for efficiency. These appliances often operate at upwards of 98 percent efficiency, meaning they get the job done in less time. Plus, since propane burns cleanly, little residue is left in these appliances, ensuring they run smoothly and making them last longer.

If you’re ready to increase your home’s energy efficiency with propane, we’re here to help! Contact Holtzman online or at (888) 306-4243 for more information about how you can make the switch to propane.
