Propane is one of the most environmentally-friendly and cost-effective energy sources on the market, meaning not only will it help your household or business to cut down your carbon footprint but it will also help you save money on your utility bills each month.

Not only that, but propane is one of the safest alternative energy sources.

Like any fuel source, however, it is not without risk and should be managed with care. There are rare circumstances where a household or business may require emergency attention - and, even though it’s unlikely to happen to you, it’s important that you are aware of how to deal with these situations.

Residential propane use comes with a range of benefits for your household, from saving you money on your utility bills each month, helping you to lead a more environmentally-friendly lifestyle, as well as being a far safer option than other energy sources on the market.

If you are new to propane use, it’s possible you are thinking something along the lines of: “What on earth are all of these markings on my propane cylinder, and what do they mean?”

Are you the owner or manager of a commercial business in central Ontario? Did you know that propane has long been recognized as an ideal fuel for commercial operations such as restaurants, manufacturing, and office facilities?

If you live, or own a holiday cottage, in a remote location of Ontario, it’s incredibly unlikely that your property is located on the grid. That’s why, as we covered in our blog titled ‘Living off the grid: What are your energy options?’, it’s essential that you know which available energy choices are open to you.

In most cases, your home or cottage will be able to make use of solar energy, wind power or hydro power. However, one of the most accessible, efficient and cost-effective methods to power your remote property is propane.

A recent study from Climate Central, titled Blackout: Extreme Weather, Climate Change and Power Outages, has claimed that climate change is causing an increase in extreme weather and is the leading cause of large-scale power outages across North America.

The research found a tenfold increase in major power outages (those affecting more than 50,000 customers), between the mid-1980s and 2012.

Whether you are the manager or owner of a small, medium or large organization, reducing your monthly expenditure is crucial to the success of your business. You probably already know most areas where your business can save money, but did you know there are alternatives to traditional utilities that will boost your bottom line?

Saving money on your utility bills each month will give you money to put back into the growth of your company.
