5 Must-Have Propane Appliances For Your Home

A couple weeks ago we discussed propane energy pods as home energy solutions that deliver superior comfort and efficiency.  The 5 main appliances that are often included in the “energy pod” are space heaters, water heaters, cooking equipment, clothes dryers and fireplaces.

But what makes these propane appliances so special? 

Propane Space Heaters

Propane furnaces, boilers, and space heaters can improve the efficiency, performance, and comfort of your home. When compared to other space heaters like oil-furnaces or electric heat pumps, propane heating is much more efficient.  Propane furnaces for example, typically have efficiency ratings at 90% or above. Appliances and furnaces that run on propane also have a longer life span, making them a more efficient, long-term choice.

Water Heaters

Since water heaters account for approximately 20% of your home’s energy bill, it’s important to choose a water heater that is highly efficient. Propane water heaters are not only energy efficient, but they also have a low environmental impact. Plus, propane water tanks are about 30% less expensive than an electric water heater, and 25% cheaper than an oil water heater.  They heat quickly and have high recovery, allowing you to take advantage of a smaller tank and low operating costs.

Cooking

Propane cook-tops provide enhanced heat control and an even heat distribution when compared to electric. Since the burners are instant, you can start cooking right away without waiting for the burner to heat up ... plus, they cool down quickly, preventing overcooking and improving safety. One of the biggest benefits of cooking with propane – on average, it costs less than half of cooking with electricity.

Clothes Drying

Propane clothes dryers save about 20% in energy costs annually compared with electric clothes dryers. Propane clothes dryers have a shorter drying time when compared to electric dryers, and they also extend the life of your clothes as the moist heat helps keep your clothes looking better for longer.

Fireplaces

Propane fireplaces are a low-cost, easy-to-use option that will invite warmth into your home. Propane fireplaces heat your home more evenly and efficiently than a wood-burning fireplace, without producing the same emissions or flying sparks. In addition, propane fireplaces have low clearance requirements, allowing for more flexible installation options.

Propane is one of the most versatile fuels on the market.  And as you can see, it is an efficient option for fueling many different appliances – that can offer you huge cost savings. Contact us today for a free quote and get ready to save energy!
