WHY CHOOSE PROPANE?
Clean Energy
Propane emits significantly less CO2 compared to electricity for key residential applications like water heating. Propane is an approved, clean fuel listed in the 1990 Clean Air Act.
Reduce Energy Costs
Propane appliances are typically far more efficient than their eclectic counterparts. For example, a tankless water heater can save your customers up to 50% on their energy bills!
Supports Modern Lifestyle
Propane provides your customers with the ability to choose first-rate amenities regardless of where they live. Propane can reach off-the-grid lifestyles as well.
Builder-Friendly
With propane, you’re not at the mercy of a public utility.
Designed for Safety
Propane is non-toxic and odorless, so processors add a chemical deodorant to help detect leaks with an easy-to-identify smell of rotten eggs or skunk spray.
Domestically Produced
Propane is made in the USA and provides American jobs.

Check Out These Propane Efficiency Resources
For homebuilders and construction professionals, there are a host of advantages to using propane as a temporary heating solution on worksites as well as including it as an option in new construction projects.
As mentioned above, increasing land prices and the limitations on where natural gas lines are located can stifle new construction options. But when you choose to include a community-wide propane source, new and exciting building opportunities open up. Not only can you build beyond natural gas supplies, but you can also build luxury homes with every amenity a natural-gas-supplied home would have.
For families concerned with both the environment and their budget, new homes complete with propane-fueled water heaters, appliances, and even emergency generators are a more efficient, affordable, and dependable solution than oil- or electric-powered homes.
Many building projects require a temporary heat source during their construction—to make sure the plaster on drywall or the paint on any interior surface dries adequately, you need sufficient heat. That’s why you should count on propane and propane-powered heating equipment. It burns cleanly, unlike kerosene heaters that can leave a filmy residue. Plus, propane heaters tend to radiate more BTUs than costlier electric heaters. Propane heating equipment is highly portable and easy to set up as well.
