Let’s talk about just how efficient propane is

We can tell you with confidence that an appliance or a piece of equipment that is powered with propane will probably work more efficiently and effectively than it would if powered with an alternative energy source.

However, you don’t just have to take our word for it. Here are some specific examples that offer a further look at propane’s efficiency:

• The propane gas furnaces that are made today are able to operate at 95% efficiency or more.
• A propane-powered water heater can warm water at a speed that is almost double the speed of an electric water heater.
• The operating costs of propane-powered appliances are between 40% and 60% less than their electric counterparts thanks to how efficient the fuel is.
• Today’s propane home heating systems typically get an average efficiency rating of more than 90%. Some even get a rating of 98%!
• Clothes dryers that are powered with propane can often dry clothes faster than electric models.

Make your propane deliveries as efficient as possible

Using propane can clearly make your appliances and equipment more efficient. Homeowners can make their fuel deliveries more efficient as well by following these simple tips from Medway Oil & Propane:

• If you are not going to be home at the time of your scheduled propane delivery make sure your driveway and/or home’s gates are unlocked so that the delivery team has access.
• Make sure that there isn’t any snow, outdoor furniture, toys, branches or debris blocking the path that leads up to your propane tank.
• If your propane tank is underground, be sure to mark its location with a flag or something similar so that it is visible in all conditions, including a snowstorm.
• Confirm that your house number can easily be read from the street.
• Keep pets in a separate location – or better yet inside – to help ensure everyone’s safety.
