Propane: Simply A Cleaner Burning Fuel (With Benefits!)

In Middle Tennessee, you typically have two options for your home’s energy needs: electric or propane. While many people choose to hold onto their electric bill, propane is hot (no pun intended) and for a good reason. Propane is a better option for the environment that can also be easier on your wallet.

Cost Savings

With the prices of everything going up these days, cost is top of people’s priorities list. Propane pays you back in many ways. First, it costs about 30% less to heat your hot water using propane versus electric. That alone can add up to a savings of around $175 per year. Propane is also more efficient for heating and cooking. In fact, propane warms about 20° more than a similarly sized electric system and can help you cook your food faster with direct, instant heat.

Environmental Friendliness

Beyond cost savings, propane is a great choice for those who care about the environment. Propane is cleaner burning than many other fossil fuels, meaning it produces significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions. As such, propane releases fewer contaminants into the air. Perhaps most importantly, the majority of propane used in the US is produced domestically. This means you’re not as reliant on foreign oil imports, the process of which obtaining is highly resource consuming. Further, a propane leak won’t contaminate the soil in the same ways that gasoline or oil-based fuels do.

What Does This Mean for Me?

As a Middle Tennessee homeowner, choosing propane means embracing a fuel that offers advantages in both cost and environmental friendliness. You’ll likely see lower utility bills, more efficient heating and cooling, and, thanks to propane being cleaner burning and domestically sourced, you’ll also reduce your carbon footprint. This translates directly into savings and a more sustainable lifestyle. It puts you in control over your energy cost. Ultimately, propane is a practical and environmentally conscious supplement to your energy use needs that benefits both your purse and the planet.
