We are all busy (at times too busy!), which is why so many of us appreciate efficiency. Whether that rings true to your personal life or professional life, we seek out effectiveness and ways to boost productivity without adding additional work and strain. If this speaks to you and you happen to be in the midst of building a new home here in Central Texas hopefully your team is incorporating propane for builders into your new construction project.
You may not think that your choice of fuel can make your home more efficient, but if you choose propane this could not actually be farther than the truth. In fact, propane helps the appliances and equipment that it powers work more efficiently than they would if they were powered by electricity.
For example, clothes dryers that are powered by propane dry clothes faster than electric dryers do. A propane-powered water heater has a hot water recovery rate that is about double the hot water recovery rate of an electric unit. They are also able to deliver an unlimited amount of hot water while using up less fuel and resources.
Need we also mention that furnaces that are powered by propane generally have fuel efficiency ratings of up to about 98.5%?
Clearly, propane helps get the job done!
There is no shortage of ways that a builder can incorporate propane into new home construction thanks to how versatile the energy source is. Propane can:
Using propane for builders doesn’t just make a home (new or old) more efficient.
Homeowners who design their homes with appliances that use propane are making the cost effective choice. This is, in part, thanks to how efficient propane appliances are as we discussed above. You use them for less time and they require less energy. On top of that the price of propane is typically more stable in addition to lower compared to the price of other fuels.
Propane is also the environmentally friendly choice. It is a clean burning fuel with a lower carbon intensity than numerous other energy sources. Propane also doesn’t contain any methane and it has very little particulate matter.
By choosing propane you are giving yourself peace of mind that your appliances will always be up and running. Since propane-powered appliances don’t need electrical grids or power to operate they will continue to work even if there is a blackout. This is a level of dependability you simply don’t get with other energy sources.
