GOOD VALUE
Propane is Fuel Efficient.
Propane offers you a very attractive combination: it
costs less and works harder.
- Propane on average costs about half as much per Btu
as electricity.
- Propane burns hotter and more evenly than many
other fuels.
- Propane appliances have a shorter energy savings
payback period (the time it takes for an appliance to pay for itself via
energy savings).
Compare the Costs.
With propane, you pay less for your energy and you
save money each time you use it.
