PROPANE HOME HEATING USES WITH SUPERIOR PROPANE

Propane home heating is delivered through various heating systems, including furnaces, boilers, and hybrid heating systems. Propane heating provides comfort, performance and efficiency for your family and your budget. Transform your home with a propane heating system that fits your needs.

Propane Furnace

A propane furnace, also known as forced air heating, distributes warm air from the unit through ducts and vents to each room in the home. Propane furnaces are high-efficiency and deliver comfortable, consistent heat, no matter what the Canadian winter throws at you. They can provide space heating for any size floor plan, from a small cottage to a large custom home. With efficiency ratings as high as 98%, propane furnaces are Energy Star rated and can reduce your carbon footprint. If you’re currently heating with an oil or electric furnace, converting to heating is quick and easy.

Propane Boiler

A propane boiler heats water, which is then pumped through a hydronic heating system to distribute warmth throughout your home. This water can circulate through radiant floor tubing, baseboard heaters, or radiators, depending on your system setup. Hydronic heating provides a steady, consistent warmth, offering a noticeable comfort upgrade compared to traditional forced-air systems. A propane boiler is also well-suited for integration with in-floor heating systems, helping to maintain cozy floor temperatures - a real benefit in colder climates or winter months.

Propane boilers for hydronic systems are highly efficient, often reaching energy efficiency levels of 95% or higher, which can contribute to significant energy cost savings. They are versatile enough to handle your home’s heating and hot water needs and can even be used to melt snow and ice on outdoor surfaces, like sidewalks or driveways. If you’re looking to lower energy costs and increase your home’s value, a high-efficiency propane boiler is a reliable choice for hydronic heating

Hybrid Heating Systems

A hybrid heating system combines an electric heat pump with a propane furnace. This can be beneficial if you live in an area where electricity prices are low. When the temperature gets lower and the heat pump is no longer effective, propane heating takes over. You get the efficiency of a heat pump with the warmth of propane heating, which is more comfortable, less expensive to operate, and less intrusive than baseboard backup heating.
