3 Ways Propane Helps You Stay Green
If you’re looking for a great way to shrink your carbon footprint without sacrificing any of the comforts of home, look no further than clean, green propane gas.
Versatile and powerful, propane will also help you lighten your load on the planet by:
- Cutting emissions – Propane emits less than half the greenhouse gas emissions of electricity to produce the same amount of energy. It also has a lower carbon content than fuel oil, gasoline, diesel, kerosene and ethanol – one reason why it was added to the Clean Air Act as a clean fuel in 1990.
- Improving efficiency – Propane-powered appliances are typically much more efficient than electric models of similar size and output; a tankless propane water heater, for example, can save up to 50 percent on energy costs compared to a similar unit powered by electricity, according to the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC).
- Reducing impact – Propane is not toxic and does not spill, pool, or leave a residue, which makes it harmless to soil or water in the event of a tank leak. With propane, there are no risks for long-term damage to your home or property if a leak occurs – unlike with heating oil, which can require costly remediation if you don’t maintain your oil tank properly.
The long and short: If you’re looking for a safe, efficient, eco-friendly way to keep your family warm all winter long – or your business up, running, and productive – propane is a great choice.
