Propane for Your Remodel
Easily transform your house into your dream home
When you upgrade to propane, you combine incredible comfort and warmth with high efficiency and lower utility bills. There's a lot to consider when deciding to switch to propane. We're here to help.
Propane & cost
Propane is sourced in the USA, making it readily accessible and cost competitive to other fuels. You can own your own tank, or rent one – and because propane stores without degrading, you can fill your tank up in the summer when fuel costs are lower.
Many home appliances will run on propane, so you can heat your home, upgrade your stove top and water heating all on the same fuel. An added benefit is that it doesn't require a huge expensive overhaul. Often, switching to propane can be a simple as retrofitting a home's current gas line or furnace. Propane tanks don't need as much maintenance as other fuel-types, last longer and require fewer repairs over time. So whether you’re grilling a steak to perfection, or cozying up for movie night in front of the fire, you’ll feel confident in your choice to switch.
Propane & the environment
Propane doesn’t harm soil or water. In addition, the EPA doesn’t require regulation for installation of above or below-ground propane tanks because propane produces so few air contaminants.
Here are some facts to consider when choosing propane appliances and their impact on the environment:
