What Are the Benefits of Using Propane Heating Appliances?

So, we can all admit the cold has hit us and it looks like its here to stay for the next few months. Some of us love it, and some of us despise it, but we live in Ontario, so we might as well make the best of it and stay warm. For those of you who are using electricity to power your heating sources, this may be a worrisome time for you. The increase of electricity rates and change in peak times may make you feel as though you need to conserve your heating source and limit its use so your electricity bill doesn’t soar through the roof. Well, have you ever considered switching your heating appliances to propane? This way, you wont ever need to worry about peak times while heating your home.

Here are the three most popular space heating appliances that can be operated using propane.

Propane Furnace

During the winter months you will more than likely have your furnace constantly running. For this reason alone, propane is the better choice. As mentioned above, you will not have to worry about turning down the temperature during peak hours and have to worry about conserving energy. When using propane, you can turn the temperature up or down, depending on your comfort level, any time of the day. Propane furnaces typically have 90% or above efficiency ratings and are likely to have longer lifespans, making them the better long-term choice.

Propane Space Heaters

Space heaters are very beneficial, especially during the winter. Space heaters allow you the option of turning down your thermostat and heating one specific area of your home. When using electrical space heaters, you aren’t necessarily conserving energy, since the unit is plugged in. However, if you choose to use a propane space heater, you are not having to worry about using it during peak hours. It doesn’t matter the size of the room, a propane space heater will make your favourite space feel comfy and cozy.

Propane Fireplace

Choosing a propane fireplace is the smart choice when choosing how you want your fireplace to be powered. By operating using propane, you are choosing a product that uses less fuel to create the same amount of heat then other units operated by either oil or electricity. Not only are they more efficient, but they are quite easy to maintain. All you need to do is schedule a yearly maintenance check-up with your fireplace provider to make sure the unit is working properly. Don’t forget, when using a propane operated fireplace, you don’t need to worry about what time of day you turn your fireplace on since propane doesn’t run on a peak hour system.
