Fossil fuels are notorious for spewing pollutants into the air, which is why homeowners, particularly those who want to adopt more eco-friendly lifestyles, are seeking out more environmentally friendly, affordable, and reliable means to heat their homes. This is where propane gas and propane wall furnaces come to play.
Propane is gaining incredible speed as an alternative fuel for home heating because of many factors:
- The initial installation cost for wall furnaces is relatively inexpensive. This is why propane systems are considered a great way to add supplemental heating in homes. Installation cost is anywhere between $1,000 and $2,000 for systems that can be vented directly through your home's wall.
- Liquid propane prices do fluctuate, but not as much as oil and gasoline rates, which are highly dependent on the movements of the world market. It is usually cheaper during warmer months, which are always great times to stock up, in preparation for the colder seasons.
- Propane is also one of the most widely available alternative fuels in the market, making it a viable fuel source for those who may not have natural gas resource close by.
- Not only is propane a clean-burning fuel, but propane wall furnaces are also a lot less messy than traditional fireplaces, able to take the chill out of a room without the soot, ash, and smoke. All theses and better air quality, for a much cheaper price.
