If you’re still using an oil-fired furnace to heat your home, you missing out on the benefits of efficient and environmentally friendly alternative fuels like propane.
#1 Propane Furnaces are More Efficient & Save You Money:
Oil furnaces typically produce heat at about 60% efficiency, meaning that for every dollar you spend on heating oil, you’ll only get about 60 cents worth of heat. Propane gas furnaces, on the other hand, are much more efficient, with ratings typically 90% or above. Keep the heat in your home and the dollars in your pocket!
#2 Reduce Your Insurance and Liability Risk With Propane:
Insurance companies place strict rules on how old oil tanks and furnaces must be in order to be covered by your household insurance policy. This means that you may have to replace your oil furnace equipment before it shows signs of wear and tear. Oil leaks are also very difficult to clean up, and can cost thousands of dollars. Propane heating equipment is much more affordable, and has no long-term effects on the environment during a spill. One litre of leaked oil can contaminate 1 million litres of drinking water.
#3 Propane is Better for the Environment:
Propane is much better for the environment than burning fuel oil. It is clean-burning and produces far fewer emissions than oil. Burning fuels, from coal to wood, heating oil, gasoline and natural gas, produces various kinds of carbon that contribute to global warming as GHG’s. Propane has a lower carbon content than fuel oil, gasoline, diesel, kerosene and ethanol. Propane gas contains significantly less greenhouse gas emissions per productivity unit compared to other fuels. Propane, has a tiny carbon footprint and is high efficient. It can play a major role in fighting climate change by offering homeowners a safe, reliable, and affordable alternative to burning oil
