Large and even small scale applications with high demands for energy, commercial propane heating systems make reliable options thanks in large part to the economical benefits of propane as a fuel choice. Propane is a safe, clean, efficient, reliable, and cheap source of energy that can be used either as a major or back-up power source. Not only is it cheap, but it is also more energy efficient, reducing energy costs significantly compared to electricity and other conventional fuels. Homes or businesses that use propane appliances and equipment report reduced annual operating costs by as much as 50 percent compared to their electric counterparts. Here are other ways that commercial propane use make a more attractive choice for businesses and households:
- Propane is environment friendly. This extremely clean fuel produces less than half of greenhouse gases produced when creating electricity, considering that electric power is largely produced on coal-fired power plants. Propane systems also give builders credit under green building programs like LEED for homes and the National Green Building Standard. Many other incentives are also available for propane-powered establishments.
- Propane is non-toxic and completely safe. It is not harmful to water or soil when accidentally released. This compressed liquid is also treated with a chemical odorant so users can detect leaks immediately. To ensure further safety, only choose a service with duly licensed and trained personnel to handle installation and maintenance of your propane systems.
- Propane is a desirable fuel source because of its flexibility, economic and ecological advantages, and the green building benefits it offers.
