Building A New Home? 10 Propane Appliances to Consider
A look at all the fuel can power in your new place
Your new home or a builder’s new home construction project is going to be filled with all sorts of appliances. And something is going to have to power and fuel these appliances. What is this ‘something’ going to be? For many homeowners and builders, the answer is propane.
What propane can do
One of the huge advantages of propane is its versatility. It can be used to power, fuel and operate a long list of different appliances, equipment and pieces of machinery. When it comes to building a new home specifically, propane can power and fuel the following 10 appliances and common home items:
- Space heaters that are used in outdoor areas such as patios
- Backup generators that are used for power in the event of a blackout
- Pool heaters
- Spa heaters
- Heating systems
- Water heating systems
- Clothes dryers
- Outdoor grills and cooking ranges
- Stoves
- Gas fireplaces
Why use propane for your new home construction
We mentioned propane’s versatility, which is certainly one of the benefits that the gas and fuel provides. However, homeowners and builders who use propane to power their appliances benefit in other ways as well. Here is a look at what else propane can offer:
- Higher levels of efficiency: The long and short of it is that appliances that are powered by propane work faster and more efficiently than their electrical counterparts. They are able to get whatever job it is that they are doing done more quickly. In fact, propane furnaces have fuel efficiency ratings of up to 98.5%. Water heaters that are powered by propane have about double the hot water recovery rate of electric water heaters and they are able to produce an unlimited amount of hot water, which electric water heaters simply cannot do. These higher levels of efficiency help homeowners save time.
- Financial savings: On top of saving time, homeowners who opt for propane will also end up saving money on their energy bills thanks to how efficiently propane appliances work.
- Dependability: Propane appliances will keep working and keep your home up and running even during a power outage. This is because they don’t need electrical grids or power to function. They are considerably more reliable than electric appliances!
- It’s the environmentally friendly choice: Propane is a clean burning and green fuel. When you compare it to most other fuels, you will find the carbon intensity to be lower. On top of that, propane contains a very small amount of particulate matter (this is a carcinogen!) and no methane. All these facts make propane the environmentally friendly choice and a smarter choice for your health.
