Service you can trust... The Blue Flame Advantage Benefits of Propane Using propane benefits more than just the pocketbook. You’re probably aware of the fact that propane is a less expensive alternative to electricity, but do you know the other benefits of this exceptional energy? Here’s a sample of some of the ways propane can make your life better. Warm, Fuzzy Feeling The heat generated by propane makes you feel good. A typical propane-powered heating system warms air to about 140 degrees. Compare this to a typical electric system, which only warms the air to 96-98 degrees, and you’ll understand why electric heat feels like a cold draft on your skin. Cleaner Burning A Colorado Clean Air Campaign study showed gas logs would burn 40 times longer than wood-burning fireplaces while producing less emissions. The difference is so significant that in some states the use of wood-burning fireplaces is prohibited on days when air quality is poor. Lower Cost Propane gas fireplaces can produce twice as much heat as wood-burning ones at about a third of the cost. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that a gas fireplace costs 30 to 60 percent less per hour to operate than a wood-burning fireplace. Better Efficiency According to the U.S. Department of Energy, heating a home with gas (such as propane) costs half as much on average than heating with electricity. Propane gas stoves and fireplaces also heat more evenly and more efficiently than wood-burning ones. They can heat a larger area, meaning less reliance on primary home heating systems and significant cost savings. Turning to a more efficient propane furnace, water heater, clothes dryer, range or other propane-powered appliances will save you money, help the environment, and keep you warm.              ©2011 Blue Flame Propane, Inc.
