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.

Propane is one of the cleanest, most affordable and versatile fuels on the market. It is abundantly available in Canada and is used in homes, industrial applications, farms and outdoors. 

With climate change becoming an increasingly important issue in society, it’s more important than ever to reduce your carbon footprint and find new environmentally-friendly ways to live.  

The use of propane will bring your household or business a wide range of benefits, from saving you money on your monthly utility bills, helping you to cut down your carbon footprint and powering your appliances in a significantly more efficient manner.

Despite the benefits, many homeowners and business owners across Ontario are still reluctant to invest in propane. That’s because many don’t understand how propane can be used.
