Building projects often require temporary propane as a power source to keep projects on time, add comfort for working in the cold, or provide electricity generation to keep your tools running. Shipley Energy provides a dependable propane supply for residential or commercial building projects. We supply high-quality propane in many locations across Maryland and Pennsylvania.
Shipley Energy installs propane at new build sites where you want to use it. We’ll add a new propane tank to the property and meet all applicable codes and regulations to provide safe energy. With us guiding your propane installation, you can streamline the process and seamlessly move to your next job.
Reasons to Use Propane on Your Job Site
Propane is an excellent energy source offering several advantages for building applications, including:
Portability: Unlike many other power sources, you can use propane almost anywhere, making it an excellent choice for building projects, especially in off-grid areas.
Affordability: Propane can power your operations for much lower costs than gasoline or diesel, allowing you to keep your project within budget.
Safety: Supply tanks can withstand extreme weather, and a propane leak won’t “spill” or contaminate the soil or water around your build site.
Environmental Sustainability: Care for the environment with a fuel source that produces less greenhouse gas emissions, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen than natural gas.
We supply job site propane for several applications, including:
Temporary Power Generation / Running Equipment: Supply energy to your generators for electric lighting and charging power equipment batteries. Or use propane for forklift fuel to move supplies.
Adding Temporary Heat: Increase your productivity with propane heaters allowing your team to work through winter or sudden storms. Even off the grid, you’ll have a reliable heat source to keep you working.
Concrete Curing
Temporary propane heaters accelerate the curing process of concrete in low temperatures, ensuring it sets properly and maintains structural integrity.
Drywall Joint Compound Drying
Propane heaters help drywall mud dry faster, reducing delays and keeping the project on schedule.
Temporary Cooking Facilities
Propane can fuel temporary cooking equipment for on-site kitchens or food trucks, supporting workers during long shifts.
