How Does Propane Stack Up?

Propane is the reliable, cost-effective alternative to diesel, electricity and oil. Switch to propane today to experience all the benefits.

Electric vs. Propane

  • Propane heat is often more economical than electricity

  • Propane mitigates the risk of lost business due to a power outage

  • Propane fueled furnaces can last years longer than electrical heat pumps

  • Propane water heaters can heat more than twice as much water in an hour versus electric models

Diesel vs. Propane

  • Typically, diesel costs up to 40% more

  • Diesel emits 15% more emissions and 98% more particulate matter

  • Delivery costs for diesel to remote sites can be much higher than propane

  • Equipment using diesel requires more frequent maintenance and related costs vs propane, which burns cleaner for less wear and tear on equipment

  • Diesel poses risk of spills and environmental impact vs propane, which vaporizes if released

  • Risk of diesel fuel contamination from long term storage

Oil vs. Propane

  • Cleanup and remediation from an oil spill is not only costly, but can hurt a company’s reputation

  • Equipment using oil requires more frequent maintenance and related costs vs propane, which burns cleaner for less wear and tear on equipment

  • Propane is more cost-effective than heating oil on a per BTU basis

  • Oil poses risk of spills and environmental impact vs propane, which vaporizes if released

BUILDING HEAT

Industrial plants, mills and warehouses are large, open spaces that can be difficult and expensive to heat. Whether through a propane-powered furnace, boiler or radiant heater, propane provides consistent, powerful and affordable heat for any commercial setting.

FORKLIFTS

Propane forklifts are suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Unlike electric models, there is no need for batteries or charging stations so more time is spent handling materials. And unlike diesel models, propane forklifts reduce emissions for lower environmental impact and a healthier work environment.

WATER HEATING

Hot water for safety, sanitation and processing is efficient and economical with propane. Propane boilers are an efficient and economical way to meet the hot water needs of your industrial operations. Tankless water heaters can be installed directly where you need them for an abundant hot water supply.

PERMANENT OR STANDBY POWER

Propane-fuelled standby power generators make sure your manufacturing equipment and building ventilation systems are always running. Propane can be stored with no degredation over time, unlike like gasoline or diesel. Propane can also be used in a combined heat & power (CHP) system to capture and use the heat from the generator to create hot water, further reducing energy costs.

VEHICLES

Propane-fuelled light-duty pickups offer lower operating costs and lower emissions than their gasoline or diesel counterparts. They deliver the same power, torque and towing capacity while reducing fuel costs and greenhouse gas emissions.
