Propane Advantage

Propane is a versatile, multi-purpose fuel that is highly portable, clean burning and non-toxic. In Canada, supply is abundant and a complex infrastructure makes it readily available and competitively priced. Propane equipment and appliances are more durable than their electric counterparts.

  • As a highly portable fuel, propane provides you with modern convenience no matter where you live, work or travel. Propane can economically go anywhere a portable cylinder can be carried. Or wherever a propane delivery truck can travel to a storage tank.
  • Propane is a highly concentrated energy source – the typical 20-lb container that's connected to your barbecue holds the equivalent of 1,000 gallons of useable fuel.
  • Propane is environmentally friendly.
    • It does not contain lead and never has.
    • It has extremely low sulphur content and therefore does not contribute to acid rain.
  • Burning propane for fuel
    • creates lower greenhouse gas emissions than many other types of fuel.
    • produces harmless water vapour and carbon dioxide – two things the natural environment uses and produces every day.

Propane Equipment and Appliances

  • Propane equipment and appliances are more durable than their electric counterparts.
  • Propane water heaters heat twice as much water in an hour than electric water heaters.
  • Propane high-efficiency furnaces can provide energy costs savings of up to 1/3 over conventionally powered units.
  • Propane powered direct vent space heating units use outside air to support combustion while re-circulating inside air to further warm the room.
  • Propane pool heaters heat greater water volumes in less time than electricity.
