Whether you are the owner of a residential property that has recently made the switch to propane or a business owner that wants to start take advantages of the benefits that propane can provide a commercial building, choosing a propane supplier will be your first task. 

With spring just around the corner, many people in Ontario will now be beginning their search for that new home or cottage that they can move into just in time for summer. But what if the house you find is powered by propane? 

Are you the owner of a large commercial building? If so, it’s probably true that you are tired of paying the expensive heating and electrical bills that come with it - have you considered switching to propane?

If you are handy around your house and you’ve decided to purchase a few propane appliances for your home or cottage, you are probably wondering whether you can install these appliances yourself?

Unfortunately, the answer is no. In order to service and install gas appliances in Ontario, it’s compulsory that you have the appropriate Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) training and certifications. 

So you have probably read somewhere, or have perhaps been told, that propane and butane are both forms of LPG gas - but what exactly does that mean and what are the similarities and differences between the two? 

Before we get into that, let’s first take a look at LPG and what it is. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is a term widely used to describe a family of light hydrocarbon gases. The two most well known gases in this family are propane and butane. 

With energy bills rising across Ontario homeowners are looking for new ways to save on their monthly expenditure and keep an extra bit of cash for themselves - making the switch to propane can make that happen.

By making a simple switch to propane, your household will find that it can save money, become more environmentally friendly and become safer. With propane becoming more popular among restaurant owners, perhaps it’s time your household makes the switch too.
