At Budget Propane, we have a long tradition of supporting local organizations and charities that help in the communities we work in.  We consider it a great privilege  to be able to lend a hand. 

We support our local non-profits organizations and sports teams through numerous sponsorship initiatives, and support our local firefighter’s training programs by providing assistance with programs such as hydrocarbon training.

Recently we made a donation to the Fraser Institute. This organization is not local to our operational area, but has a broader mandate to contribute to the quality of life for all Canadians.

Did you know that Ontarians pay the highest rate in Canada for hydro? In fact, the price of electricity has grown significantly faster in Ontario than anywhere else in Canada over the past decade. A report by the Fraser Institute, which used data from Statistics Canada, shows that from 2008 to 2016 residential hydro costs in Ontario rose 71 percent - yet the average rise across the entirety of Canada was just 34 percent.

Thankfully, there are plenty of ways to cut down on your monthly energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint at the same time.

Are you considering making the switch to propane energy, or are you simply looking for a new propane supplier? Choosing which propane company you receive your propane from can be a tough decision. 

That’s why in this blog, Budget Propane Ontario takes a look at the five key considerations you should take into account when choosing your propane supplier. Finding the right supplier for your specific needs will make it easy and convenient for you to manage your propane supply.

Before we get into that, let’s first take a quick look at why making the switch to propane is a smart decision.

Are you remodeling your home and considering propane? Or maybe you're planning a new build rural home or cottage and need to decide on your source of energy? One thing is for sure, propane offers home owners a range of benefits and for every room in your house!

Let's start with propane for heating.  A propane furnace or boiler provides the ultimate home comfort. Both with heat air to a higher initial temperature which means you get to your desired thermostat setting faster, plus it's easier to maintain at that level. In addition, propane heating is incredibly efficient and clean!

Next let's think about hot water for your kitchen, laundry and bathroom. Installing a high efficiency propane water heater or a propane tankless water heater will provide all the hot water you need and lower your energy bills.  With a high-efficiency propane storage tank water heater, you can save up to 16 percent in annual energy costs compared with electric models.

Our Propane Tank Monitoring System automates the re-order process for propane deliveries to homes and cottages. This system not only ensures you get the right amount of propane when you need it, it gives you peace-of-mind and optimizes your deliveries.

The Propane Tank Monitor will alert us when your propane levels are at a custom set-point so that we can come and re-fill your tanks, ensuring that you never run short of propane.

Our remote monitoring system will also keep you informed about your current supply level, by sending out weekly notifications by email. 

So how does it work?
