Propane is an incredibly versatile fuel that can be used to heat your home or cottage. It is a great option for space heating, as well as your pool heater and water tank. If you are looking to add some ambience to your space, it can be used to fuel your fireplace and it is a cost effective and reliable source of energy for a backup generator. It can also be used for cooking food on your stove or barbeque and even drying your clothes.

That is what makes propane the perfect option for new homes. Not only can it be used in several applications, it is safe, environmentally friendly, efficient and cost effective. It can also be used in remote locations because of its portability.

If you are a subcontractor, builder or general contractor, and you’re recommending propane for your next building project you should give us a call. 

Warm weather is coming as summer fast approaches. For you, that means more festivals, camping and weekends at the cottage but, what does it mean for your propane?

Propane is stored in residential propane tanks as liquid propane gas, sometimes referred to as LP gas. As with any liquid, the volume of LP gas changes with temperature. As the temperature cools, propane condenses and as the temperature rises, the propane will expand in the tank.

Budget Propane delivers first class service for our clients and part of that is being able to refer contractors. We have many customers every year who ask us for a referral to a local heating contractor who sell, install and service furnaces, fireplaces, boilers, tank less water heaters and so on. We are looking to add HVAC companies and contractors as a referral partner of HVAC services in the area.

Spring is here, which means you and your family are starting to think about spending weekends at the cottage (and maybe even weeks once school is out). Why not? The weather is getting warmer, the days are getting longer and soon you will be able to take full advantage of your home away from home. But when you go away, are you doing what you can, before you leave, to ensure your home isn't using unnecessary power while you’re gone?
