In this video "Achieving affordable and impactful energy efficiency", from Build With Propane, the role of propane as an EEM (energy-efficiency measure) is discussed with Home Builders and Propane Suppliers. How does propane reduce energy consumption and provide homeowners with cost-benefits based on the climate of their area? The video looks at a report reviewing EEMs for benefits for new homes and conversions/ renovations. Propane delivers clean energy that achieves real benefits for home heating, cooking, fireplaces, pool heating.

Hope you can get outside and enjoy some great July weather. Chances are you'll fire up the propane grill, so why not try this BBQ recipe? The sauce calls for Ginger Ale, and if you're in Gravenhurst you can try the local made Muskoka Dry Pale Ginger Ale! Enjoy!

The Eco-Friendly Gas for those who care about the environment is propane. Choosing the right fuel source for one’s home, business, or vehicle comes down to more than cost alone. In addition to being cost-efficient, propane is the most eco-friendly of all natural gas and petroleum-based heating options. Here are a few reasons why you are doing your part to keep the planet clean when you choose propane.
 
Greenhouse Emissions:
 Propane has low carbon content and emits less greenhouse gases (GHG) when burned than gasoline, kerosene, diesel, ethanol, and coal do. According to the Canadian Propane Association, propane heaters even produce less GHG emissions than electric water heaters. Also, unlike the natural gas methane, propane does not release carbon dioxide or act as a GHG of any kind when released into the air.
 
Propane Exhaust:
If you are considering owning a propane-fueled vehicle, know that these produce up to 26% less GHG than their gasoline-powered counterparts. If inhaled, propane vapours are non-toxic. The Canadian Propane Association also reports that propane is Canada’s most popular alternative fuel for transportation applications, so keeping a propane supply handy would be the convenient and green thing to do.
 
Pollution and Criteria Air Contaminants:
Propane produces less of the particles that pollute the environment than gasoline and diesel. These pollutants, known as Criteria Air Contaminants (CAC), can cause haze, acid rain, ground-level ozone, and other environmental problems. Propane also will not contaminate water supplies or the soil; though propane is stored in liquid form, it will not pool if released, but rather become a harmless vapour that rapidly dissipates. As a propane user, you help keep emissions low and the ecosystem healthy.

If you’re looking for a more efficient and effective way to heat your home this winter, then consider switching to a propane gas heating system. Propane is one of the most widely available fuel sources in Canada and is affordable enough for regular home use. Additionally, propane is clean-burning and is almost emissions free. Let’s take a look at why propane heating is a great option for your home this winter.
 
Propane has received a lot of attention for its versatility in a variety of different applications. This versatility has also made propane an attractive fuel source for heating homes. Propane can be used in a number of different home heating solutions including forced air systems, as well as other “greener” solutions such as radiant floor heating and baseboard heaters.
 
One advantage that makes propane heating particularly attractive for Canadian homeowners is its heating capacity. When compared to electrical heating systems, propane powered heaters are much better equipped to provide higher, more stable temperatures. They also tend to be more energy-efficient than electrical heat pumps in real-world scenarios, with efficiency ratings between 70 and 96 percent.
