Why Propane for Commercial Heating?

Builders, manufacturers and engineers trust propane for their heating needs because propane fueled commercial heating systems are:

  • A cost-effective energy source for applications like space or water heating

  • Safe for the environment and your workers. Propane dissipates when released, which eliminates the risk of a costly spill and means no toxic fumes for your employees.

  • The lower emissions choice. Propane is a cleaner burning, greener fuel compared to oil and diesel.

  • Highly efficient. Propane furnaces, heaters and heating equipment not only heat more efficiently, they also have a longer life span, making them a more efficient, long-term choice.

  • Propane is portable, making it the preferred fuel for off-grid businesses and industries.

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
