Is Propane Safe? Why You Should Be Using Propane

Is Propane Safe? Why You Should Be Using Propane

With so many energy sources out there to heat and cool your home and fuel your appliances, it’s hard to keep track of what is best for you, your needs, the environment, and everything else. But with propane being used in millions of households and businesses across the United States and its long standing safety record, propane is becoming the easy choice for home and business owners alike.

Our experts here at Propane Plus, LLC break down the benefits of propane and show how it is one of the safest fuels on the market.

Safety in Propane

With strict codes and regulations developed by the National Fire Protection Association, the Railroad Commission of Texas, and the propane industry, propane has had a strong safety record for decades.

Only certified propane specialists can handle the liquid or recertify propane tanks for continued use, and our trained professionals teach customers the safest ways to use propane.

In addition to the handling standards required by government and industry regulations, propane itself is a safe fuel.

Burns Cleanly

For a fuel to be labeled as clean burning, it has to produce very little sulfur dioxide and other particulates. Unlike gasoline or diesel, propane maintains that clean burning label and keeps appliances free of soot and scaling.

With no soot or scaly build up clogging your appliances, they run better for longer, saving you maintenance costs or the need to buy new ones.

Friendly to the Environment

Along with being safer for you to use, propane is also better for the environment than most fuel sources. It is non-toxic and insoluble in water.

If propane is released, it is often in its gaseous form, so it doesn’t spill or seep into the ground, and it doesn't leave a residue. It emits less carbon dioxide and less exhaust than natural gas and other fuels, so you can leave a much smaller carbon footprint, too.

More Reasons to Use Propane

Propane’s clean and safe record isn’t the only reason it is an ideal choice for most people. Here are some other factors to consider when deciding to use propane to fuel your home and business.

Efficient & Affordable

Because propane is a high efficiency fuel, it uses less energy than other fuel sources to produce the same amount of power. For example, you can produce twice as much hot water with propane as you could with an electric unit in an equal amount of time. That efficiency saves you time and money.

Propane also provides you with the unique ability to buy it when you need it or ahead of time and store it for later. This way you don’t have to rely on a power grid or natural gas and can save money over time.

Convenient to Store & Use

Propane is one of the most easy to install, use, and store fuel sources. No matter where you live, a propane tank can be installed and propane lines can be hooked up to heat your home, run your clothes dryer, and fire your grill. Unlike natural gas, your home or business doesn’t have to be pre-equipped for propane.

Using a qualified propane supplier allows you to have propane delivered to your home or business whenever you need it. Or join our regular route program and have propane automatically scheduled to be delivered without having to do anything.

Propane can also be stored for long periods of time. As long as your propane tank is well-maintained and in good working condition, it should last for years and keep you stocked for as long as you need.

Versatile

Propane is also an extremely versatile fuel that can run anything in your home or business that electricity or natural gas can run, including:

  • Home heating
  • Cooking appliances
  • Dryers
  • Water heaters

Plus propane is portable, so you can use it for outdoor appliances and take it with you wherever you go.

Use it for:

  • Gas grills
  • Pool heaters
  • Fire pits and outdoor fireplaces
  • Generators
  • Space heaters
  • Construction equipment
  • Forklifts
  • Food trucks
  • Motorhomes
