Propane is a versatile fuel that offers a lot more than just energy for heating and cooking. Below are some popular uses for propane gas, a fuel used in over 15 million homes and businesses all over the United States.

Propane Uses

Propane Water Heating

With propane you can go 'tankless' and get your hot water on demand

Tankless water heaters are small, great space savers, & help reduce your home's carbon footprint.

Home Propane Heating

Radiant Floor Heating

Propane-powered floor heating uses propane heated water that is pumped evenly through a floor tubing system. The system is far more comfortable and energy efficient than a conventional furnace & duct system because it delivers heat evenly and closer to the floor.

High-Efficiency Propane Heating

A highly efficient propane furnace or boiler is an economical and dependable choice for home heating. Most units pay back their installation fees through energy & operating-cost savings alone. Energy-Star qualified propane furnaces are up to 15% more efficient than standard electric models, and they emit fewer greenhouse gases:

- 69% less than electric furnaces
- 64% less than electric baseboards
- 37% less than fuel oil furnaces

Fireplaces provide ambiance, heat, and light. Propane fireplaces provide these benefits, and more:

Propane Fireplaces can be turned on & off with a thermostatic switch or remote control, and do not require electricity. They heat rooms more evenly & efficiently than wood-burning fireplaces, and do not produce ash or soot. Most direct-vent models are green-building approved & virtually maintenance-free.

Cooking with Propane

Use a propane cooktop rather than electric for better heat control & more even heat distribution
The instant-on burners on propane ranges allow cooking to start right away & cool quicker; helping to prevent overcooking & accidents.
Propane is also a great choice for large, commercial-grade cooktops.

Drying Clothes with Propane

Propane clothes dryers are competitively priced
They offer many features, such as cycle selections, timing sensors, and temperature controls.
They tend to dry clothing faster than electric machines, saving time.
Propane powered dryers produce a moist heat, which relaxes wrinkles and reduces static cling.
