PROPANE
MAKES YOU FEEL MORE AT HOME
WITH YOUR HOME...


Dear New Home Owner:

Congratulations on your new home! We, the team at F. Ray Moore Propane would greatly appreciate the opportunity to serve your propane needs.

We think you may be considering propane as well as electric appliances. If so, we want you to know how much more economical propane is over electricity in the applications of heating water, drying clothes, cooking, and space heating. The electric company will not disagree that you will save a substantial amount of money on heating water, drying clothes, and cooking. Therefore, it is important to consider gas appliances over electric. Nor will they contest that propane furnaces are 37% warmer than heat pumps. The cooling part of this equation is the same. However, they confuse the public in the area of space heating. The utility company, the City of Washington, incorrectly state:

  1. the efficiency level of propane heat which is 87%
  2. the cost per gallon of propane and;
  3. the cost of operating a heat pump when the heat strips come on which is any time the temperature goes below 36 degrees

When the correct values are used you will see, for a family of four, an annual savings of over $800 to $1000 per year or $8000 to $10,000 over 10 years. To see the cost savings by appliance for your personal home, click on our "Energy Savings Calculator" that will show you a comparison of the savings you will receive with propane over electricity. If you have more questions on cost comparison, please feel free to ask your contractor, give us a call, or go online to www.usepropane.com. We have aplenty of cost comparison information.

Are you aware you can save about $350 or 46% per year on hot water alone? And because the recovery time is twice as fast as heating water with electricity, you will always have hot showers.

Be sure to ask about our Price Insurance (PIP) Program where you are given the opportunity to buy your propane at a "not to exceed price". What a great thought - even in the coldest of winters, your propane bill will be less than it would have been with electricity, and even if our cost drops, yours does too. We were one of the first propane companies to provide this service in our area!!!

We also can supply you with an underground tank that can be buried invisibly anywhere in your yard. We were one of the first gas companies to offer this service. In addition, our company is licensed (#21152) to pipe houses, and we have 3 fully certified technicians to handle any service need you may ever have.

Another thought for you, our area is prone to extended power outages due to summer hurricanes and winter ice storms. Thus, you may want to consider an auxiliary propane generator that is much cheaper if your house is total propane. Then if someone asks you, "How did you weather the power outage? You can say, What power outage?"

I hope you can see propane has the best energy value and that all propane companies are not the same. Therefore, before you choose your energy company, please call our team first. We will save you money on your propane and appliances. Thanks.

Sincerely,

F. Ray Moore, Jr,
President
