The Benefits of Propane

Reduce Operating Expenses:

Choosing energy-efficient propane kitchen appliances as well as space and water heating systems can lower your cost to run your kitchen.


The Professional Choice:

Cooking with gas is the top choice for cooks and chefs from coast-to-coast. Propane provides precise flame control and even heat distribution for the perfect dish.

Unparalleled Versatility:

The versatility of propane extends beyond the kitchen. Not only is it perfect for stoves, deep fryers and ovens, it is the right choice for water heating, backup power, patio heaters, BBQs, and more.

Business as Usual:

We like to think of propane as power outage insurance. It works as your prime fuel source and as a reliable backup fuel, reducing your risk of losing business. It ensures your amenities are always available to guests!

Propane Uses For Restaurants

Space Heating

An efficient propane furnace can quickly and cost-effectively heat your restaurant. We understand that your kitchen and dining room have different heating needs; propane can serve both. Keep customers and staff comfortable while reducing your heating bills - that’s the advantage of propane.

Water Heating

High-efficiency propane boilers and tankless water heaters provide your commercial kitchen or catering business with reliable, on-demand hot water. Propane offers an economical, on-demand, endless hot water supply, and tankless water heaters can be installed where you need them to be, inside or out.

Cooking

Propane-powered cooktops and ovens are preferred by chefs because they deliver instant, even heat and responsive control. Plus propane offers the versatility to cost-effectively fuel a variety of kitchen appliances, including stoves, ovens, fryers, griddles, BBQs, broilers, and buffets.

Outdoor Amenities

Provide your guests with an unforgettable outdoor dining experience. Propane is ideal for outdoor cooking on BBQs or grills, offers a beautiful ambiance with a flame display or fire pit, and provides evening comfort with radiant patio heaters. In winter, radiant snow-melting systems are a must-have for labour-saving snow clearance.

Permanent or Backup Power

For off-grid kitchens, using propane for full-time power results in lower fuel costs and better environmental performance compared to diesel or gasoline. Standby generators keep your business running during an outage and protects against any losses to your perishable inventory. Propane is the safe and dependable energy source that won’t fail you.
