Written by James Callow | Fri, Apr 17, 2015 @ 04:29 PM

Water heaters are essential home appliances that can have a huge impact on your lifestyle. Every time you take a hot shower, wash your dishes or use your washing machine, you are using your home’s hot water heater.

Water heaters account for a huge portion of your home’s energy bills. On average, water heaters account for 20% of your bill. The type of water heater you choose affects more than just your monthly energy bill. It also affects your home’s resale value, your environmental impact and the safety of you and your family.

Propane water heaters are a cost-effective, safe and environmentally friendly option for your home or cottage. And compared to electric or oil powered water heaters, propane water heaters offer many advantages.

Quick Facts About Propane Water Heaters

When compared to electric models, propane water heaters:

Less expensive to operate and repair
Last as long as ten years – 6 years longer than the average electric water heater
Heat twice as much water in an hour

And, propane water heaters are 30 % less expensive than an electric water heater and 25% cheaper than an oil water heater!

In addition to cost savings and efficiency, there are some major benefits to using a propane water heater.

Propane burns clean.

Using oil to power your heater produces more carbon dioxide than using propane.

Propane is convenient.

Propane is a highly portable fuel which can be stored and transported without deteriorating over time. It can be used to heat your grill, stove, pool heater, clothes dryer, refrigerator, and air conditioner—unlike oil, which can only be used to heat your home and your water.

Propane is safe.

Propane tanks, by design, are 20 times more resistant to punctures than conventional gasoline tanks.

Propane is environmentally friendly.

Propane has a tiny carbon footprint and is highly efficient. Burning most fuels used in the world today, from coal to wood, oil, gasoline and natural gas, produces various kinds of carbon that contribute to global warming as GHG’s. Propane has a lower carbon content than fuel oil, gasoline, diesel, kerosene and ethanol.

Propane is clean, efficient, and economical. It's one of nature's most versatile sources of energy. Contact us today to find out how a new Propane Water Heater can save you money.
