Many homeowners are looking at ways in which they can reduce their carbon footprint and become more environmentally friendly. This type of lifestyle is growing rapidly in Ontario, with many families looking to enjoy time away from the city enjoying the beautiful lakes and backcountry of our amazing province.

When looking to lead a greener lifestyle one of the first things you’ll want to evaluate is your energy consumption. One way to significantly improve your carbon footprint is through the use of propane

What is propane?

Propane is a safe, non-toxic, clean-burning fuel that is a great source of energy. With a lower carbon content than oil, gasoline, diesel, kerosene and ethanol, propane gas contains significantly less greenhouse gas emissions per productivity unit compared to other fuels.

Propane has a tiny carbon footprint and is highly efficient, meaning it can play a major role in fighting climate change by offering homeowners a safe, reliable, and affordable alternative to burning oil.

What are the environmental benefits of propane?

Propane is a smart environmental choice when it comes to lowering your carbon footprint. In fact, propane is not a greenhouse gas so it has no impact on the environment if prematurely released into the atmosphere prior to combustion.

With a lower carbon content and a producer of fewer emissions, propane is safer for the environment than other fuels.

Propane emits 26% less greenhouse gases than gasoline when used in vehicles, 38% lower GHGs than oil in furnaces and 50% less carbon dioxide than a charcoal barbecue. Reducing these air pollutants is highly important, since they are one one of the most serious environmental problems in the world.

Air pollutants have a negative impact on the quality of living for people, as well as ecosystems worldwide. As a result, propane is a fantastic alternative for households that are looking for a more environmentally-friendly source of energy.

Not only that, but choosing to use propane can also save you money. Propane will help your household to reduce heating and hot water bills since propane water heaters can be twice as efficient as electric models.

What can I use propane for?

Propane is one of the world’s most versatile sources of fuel, meaning you can pretty much replace all the areas in your life in which you use energy with propane fuel.

With a wide range of propane efficient appliances on the market, propane can be used to power your space heaters, water heaters, refrigerators, furnaces, cooking stoves, fireplace, power indoor and outdoor lighting, dryers and much more.

Let’s also not forget about any outdoor appliances you may have. Propane can also be used to fuel a wide range of equipment from your swimming pool, hot tub, barbecue, patio heaters and many more.
