The Benefits of Using Propane for Your Home

Here are some of propane’s standout advantages:

• Efficiency:  Propane-powered appliances are highly efficient, which means you’ll need less fuel to get the same job done. For instance, propane water heaters can produce twice as much hot water per hour as their electric counterparts.
• Environmentally friendly: Concerned about your carbon footprint? Propane emits fewer greenhouse gases than electricity, gasoline, and other fossil fuels. Its non-toxic nature means it won’t contaminate soil or groundwater in the event of a leak.
• Versatility: Anything that runs on natural gas can run on propane. This includes heating systems, water heaters, stoves, clothes dryers, fireplaces, and even outdoor grills and pool heaters. 
• Made in America: Most propane in the U.S. is produced domestically, helping to support local businesses and good-paying American jobs. Choosing propane means you’re choosing to invest in a reliable, homegrown energy solution.

Finding the Right Propane Tank 

Selecting the proper tank size is crucial for maximizing efficiency and minimizing costs. Propane Plus offers a wide range of tank options to meet your household's unique needs. 

Here’s a quick guide:

• 50-gallon tanks: Designed for smaller appliances like stoves, ovens, and dryers, these compact tanks work well for light usage.
• 100-gallon tanks: This size offers added flexibility and is ideal for powering multiple appliances such as fireplaces and water heaters.
• 2 x 100-gallon tanks: This delivers dependable performance when you need a steady supply of propane for home heating, pool heating, or a generator.
• 500-gallon tanks: The most common choice for homes using propane as their primary fuel source. This size supports heating, hot water, cooking, generators, and more. 
• 1,000-gallon tanks: These tanks are great for larger homes over 4,500 square feet or properties with multiple propane-powered needs. They are also available as underground options for homeowners looking to preserve outdoor aesthetics.
