What Exactly is Propane?
Propane is a cleaner-burning, reliable fuel source used in millions of homes across the country. It’s a byproduct of natural gas processing and petroleum refining. One of its greatest advantages is that it’s stored as a liquid in a tank on your property but is used as a gas in your appliances. This makes it incredibly stable and easy to transport.
Because it’s a non-toxic and environmentally friendly fuel, propane is a popular choice for homeowners who want to reduce their carbon footprint without sacrificing performance. It can power a wide range of appliances, including:
- Central heating systems and furnaces
- Water heaters
- Stoves and ovens
- Fireplaces
- Clothes dryers
- Pool heaters
- Outdoor grills and fire pits
- Backup generators
