If you're looking for a more efficient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective way to heat your home or business, switching from oil heating to propane fuel might be the right move for you.
Propane is a clean-burning compressed gas that produces nearly 38% fewer carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions than oil. This makes it a more environmentally-friendly alternative. Additionally, fuel oil can be costly and dangerous if it leaks, as one litre of leaked oil can contaminate one million litres of drinking water.
As the Canadian Propane Association notes in "Propane: The missing link in energy transition" ...
"Propane is a low-emission source of energy used for heating homes and businesses, for agriculture and transportation, among other uses. And propane is not a greenhouse gas prior to combustion. If it spills it does not cause harm to air, land or water. And when it is burned to provide energy, its GHG emission levels are 38 per cent lower than those of heating oil.
A low-carbon program dedicated to changing home heating from oil to propane would see an immediate reduction in GHGs. Not only that, but insurance rates would also go down and households would save between 30 and 40 per cent in energy fuel costs."
Another advantage of propane is the freedom it provides when it comes to using appliances. With propane, you can use your appliances whenever you want, without having to worry about off-peak hydro electric hours. Plus, propane fuel costs are generally lower than those of oil, which means you can enjoy savings around the clock.
