  1. Home Heating Propane Solutions Keep Your Home Winter Proof Once you use propane to heat your home, you will realize how extremely efficient it is in terms of keeping your home warm. Propane is also known as liquefied petroleum gas or LPG, and it is a hydrocarbon that is produced by processing natural gas or the refining of crude oil. More than 90 percent of the gas used in the US is produced locally, with the rest coming from Canada. Propane heating systems range from built-in heating systems and portable space heaters, and using them makes sense if you are looking for a cost effective and environmentally friendly means to winter proof your home. The Department of Energy shared that it could cost more to operate a furnace with electricity. Propane is known as a clean burning fossil fuel, earning it the approval of known government and environmental agencies. In fact, it is an approved and listed fuel in the Clean Air Act of 1990 and in the Energy Policy Act of 1992. Propane can keep the air supply at a consistent temperature (around 115 degrees Fahrenheit), so the warmth generated can keep you comfortable when it is cold (unlike when you use an electric heat pump, which delivers air at a temperature that is a bit higher than the average body temperature). A home heating propane solution can be more reliable in the winter. In case of an outage, you can still use a propane heater to keep you and your family warm until the power comes back. Moreover, a gas furnace, on average, has a lifespan of 20 years—much longer than the typical 14-year lifespan of most electric heat pumps. And in case the propane gas furnace breaks down, it costs less to repair than an electric heat pump. Propane home heating systems can reduce your greenhouse gas emissions and energy costs by up to 68 percent. A propane furnace has an AFUE (annual fuel utilization efficiency) of 95 or higher, and it can produce air that is up to 25 degrees warmer than what an electric heat pump produces. Most of the time, people who use electric heat pumps complain about their homes being drafty and cold, so they end up using additional heat sources only to be surprised by the increase in their heating bills. A propane home heating solution will provide a more comfortable and cozier environment for less.
