Propane

 

 
Propane gas fuels a variety of systems and products. It offers homeowners reliability, cleanliness, improved performance and, on average, costs half as much per BTU as electricity. Propane supplies one percent of the United State's total energy needs and ranks as the seventh most important source of energy in the country today.
  • Residential: Propane appliances include furnaces, water heaters, log inserts, fireplace inserts, space heaters, ranges, ovens, clothes dryers, and air conditioners. Millions of backyard cooks use gas (that's propane gas) grills for cooking. And recreational vehicles (RV's) usually have propane-fueled appliances, giving them a portable source of energy for cooking, hot water, and refrigeration.
  • Agricultural: Half of America's farms use propane to meet their energy needs, too. Farmers use propane to dry crops, brood chickens, power tractors, and warm greenhouses.
  • Commercial: B usiness and commercial establishments--from grocery stores to laundromats--use propane for heating and cooking
