- LPG can be used as an alternative power source to electricity for your central heating system. That way, even in the event of an outage, you can still keep warm until the power comes back on. Consider talking to your propane gas supplier about creating this type of setup, and install an automated thermostat to go with it.
- You can use propane gas in a hybrid heating system. This means that you can have an electric heat pump backed by a furnace that runs on LPG, which can be handy when it gets too cold for just the heat pump to work. The system will automatically switch to the furnace for efficient and effective heating. This is also beneficial if you want to reduce your carbon footprint and heating costs.
- Choose a high efficiency furnace that runs on propane. Your propane gas supplier may be known for reasonably priced LPG, but you could easily rack up the expenses if you have a low-quality furnace. So, make sure that it is rated at least 90 percent in efficiency, so you can be sure that it can effectively heat your property.
- Do safety checks. Before using propane gas at home or in the job site, make sure that the tanks, pipelines, or cylinders are in perfect condition, without signs of fire damage, rust, dents, and bulges. When transporting cylinders, keep them in a secure and upright position.
