Advantages of Propane

Versatile
Propane can be used to fuel numerous appliances in the home, including furnaces, boilers, space heaters, water heaters, ranges  and clothes dryers.. It’s also commonly used in industrial applications, on farms and outdoors.

Cost-Effective
Appliances fueled by propane are energy efficient, helping you save money! Propane furnaces heat at 90% efficiency, compared to oil furnaces that produce heat at 60% efficiency. Appliances and furnaces that run on propane also have a longer life span, making them an efficient long-term choice.

Environmentally Friendly

Good for the Economy
The Canadian propane industry provides 20,000 jobs each year and generates $9.9 billion to the economy.

Safe
Propane gas is non-toxic. It’s not harmful to soil or water and does not endanger the environment. It’s lead-free with a low flammability range, and is odorized for early leak detection.
