Budget Propane believes in giving-back, and is pleased to support many different charities and organizations helping in our community.

Recently, we received this letter from Teen Challenge, Ontario Women's Centre, thanking us for a donation to their program. Teen Challenge helps men and women aged 18+ to overcome addictions by developing the whole person within the context of a residential facility. Students learn character and leadership development skills, health and life skills, and have the opportunity to acquire some vocational training.

Moving to an off-grid lifestyle brings with it a number advantages, but homeowners must be aware of their energy options in order to make it work.

Are you looking for a new lifestyle off the beaten path? Perhaps you are rethinking where you source your energy from? Maybe you just want to purchase a remote retreat from city living? Going “off the grid” could be what you’re looking for.

Off-grid living has grown as a movement in recent years. While figures are hard to find, a report from Accenture estimates that some 12 per cent of customers in North America will become energy self-sufficient by 2035.

We value both our residential and commercial propane customers. That’s why, since we were first founded over 30 years ago, we have developed a world-class customer service strategy that’s constantly evolving with the needs of our customers.

Propane is one of the safest alternative fuels on the market to use as an energy source inside your home. Despite this, it’s still a great idea to invest in a few safety devices that will give your family additional protection and peace-of-mind. 

Installing a carbon monoxide detector is one of the obvious pieces of safety equipment to install in your home, but did you know that you can pair this with a combustible gas detector to provide additional safety to your household? 

Propane has a variety of uses, and has become an increasingly popular power source for homes, cottages and businesses over the past 10 years. This is because propane is cost-effective, environmentally friendly and incredibly safe.

One of the biggest advantages of using propane gas is it’s precise temperature control. This is incredibly useful for homeowners who enjoy cooking, as well as restaurants which rely on instant heat and spot-on temperature controls to accurately cook meals for their customers.
