"I'm a very happy Budget customer for many reasons, but the first is your wonderful staff.  Last year I miscalculated my wood supply (or was outsmarted by a winter that never wanted to leave), and hung in, doling out the propane carefully, calling the 1-800 number regularly to check the litre price.   Everyone was very patient with me, answering my "crystal ball" questions as best they could!  

With the dropping price of crude oil causing the cost of heating fuels such as oil to decrease, you may be tempted to keep the old oil furnace and tank around for a little bit longer.  But the benefits of switching from oil to propane as a residential heating source surpass just the financial benefits.  Not only are propane prices dropping as well, but there are 3 main benefits to making the switch:

Brrrr…its getting cold out there!  We’ve had extreme cold weather warnings throughout Southern Ontario this week, in addition the snow squall warnings in different regions.  What would you do if your power went out this week?

Planning your travel itinerary, travel arrangements and packing are all important tasks, but make sure you take these steps to prepare your home for your absence.  Not only will your home be prepared, you will save energy and enjoy cost savings while you’re away!

Global warming.  Oil spills.  Pollution.  Acid Rain.

Our environment is constantly bombarded with emissions and pollutants that contribute to global warming and air pollution.  Carbon emissions, toxicity and air contaminants, combined with environmental disasters such as oil spills, are creating conditions in our environment that will eventually lead us to an increased earth temperature, higher sea levels, and increased acidity in the oceans.

The climate changes caused by Greenhouse Gases are completely dependent upon our actions today.  Switching to a fuel source with low carbon emissions is one of the first steps you can take to reducing your carbon footprint.

Switch to Propane

Propane is an alternative fuel source that does not produce high carbon emissions.  When compared to other heating options, propane not only has lower emissions, but it is a more efficient heating source with lower heating costs.
