With the increased fluctuation of hydro prices, especially for those living in rural areas, it is no surprise that folks are choosing to make the switch to propane. There are quite a few people who have never had a home with appliances that run on propane before, and, therefore, may not be sure how to go about deliveries or other operational tasks.

Then there are people who are buying or renting homes who are in the same boat. They have a propane tank on their property and know that the majority (or all) of their appliances run on propane, but where do they go from there?

When it comes to heating your home or business, you want an energy source that is clean, convenient, and inexpensive. As a clean-burning compressed gas, propane is an eco-friendly alternative to electricity or fuel oil.
