Advantages of Using Propane for Hotels
When considering an energy source for your business, you’ll need to know the benefits of each option. You may wonder about the cost, environmental concerns and other factors. Here are some of the benefits of using propane in your hotel or other business.
Hotels consume high amounts of energy every day. Guests leave lights on, air conditioning is blasting, and appliances are constantly in use. This high energy consumption means your hotel needs an energy-efficient option. Hotels can use propane gas to generate electricity and utilize the heat generated to supply hot water.
Propane is a low-carbon fuel, and it gives off 43% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than electricity. The EPA has designated propane as a clean energy alternative. As a nontoxic fuel, propane won’t contaminate the soil or groundwater. Heating your hotel with propane is an environmentally friendly choice for your business.
Uses of Propane in Hotels
Your hotel can make use of propane in all parts of the business, including the following areas.
Heating
You can use propane for water heating. Propane heats water almost 40% faster than electricity. A propane tankless water heater uses a flame hot enough to heat the water on-demand, so you don’t waste money leaving your hot water sitting in a storage tank. The flame will turn off when you turn off the faucet, making propane water heating an efficient option for many hotels. Your hotel can even use propane to heat swimming pools.
Appliances
Your day-to-day operations rely on several appliances throughout your hotel. You and your staff can use propane stoves in the kitchen and washing and drying machines that use propane in the laundry room for maximum productivity and energy efficiency.
Emergency Generators
Even if you don’t rely on this fuel for every application, you can use propane for backup generators in case of an emergency. Propane generators are a sustainable way to keep operations running in the face of unexpected challenges, like electrical outages.
