At Seymour Oil & Propane, we have been taking care of families in Fairfield County and across western Connecticut for decades. In that time, we’ve introduced many households to the benefits of propane. This eco-friendly fuel powers a wide variety of the most efficient home comfort equipment.
In this article, we’d like to list out some of the biggest benefits of propane and discuss how our team can be your partner for propane delivery and equipment services.
When you want your boiler, furnace or space heater to keep things nice and toasty, propane’s got you covered. This fuel delivers an impressive 91,452 Btu of heat energy per gallon. To match that with electricity, you’d need a whopping 27 kilowatt-hours or about 88 cubic feet of natural gas. And today’s propane furnaces and boilers are incredibly efficient.
Did you know that modern propane heating systems can be up to 98.5% efficient? That means almost all the propane you use is actually heating your home, with hardly any waste. Propane furnaces can keep your home toasty, even heating air up to 140° F, no matter how cold it gets outside.
But that’s not all! Propane water heaters have recovery rates about twice as fast as electric ones, and if you go tankless, the efficiency is even better. Plus, propane dryers can speed up your laundry time compared to their electric counterparts — just to name a few pertinent examples!
Propane is a great alternative fuel! It’s listed under the National Energy Policy Act and the Clean Air Act because it has a much lower carbon intensity compared to fuel oil, gasoline or even average U.S. grid electricity. Plus, it doesn’t have any methane, a potent greenhouse gas, and it emits hardly any particulate emissions.
Adding propane service to your home opens up a world of possibilities. Propane can power all of these amazing products:
Did you know nearly all the propane we use in the U.S. is made right here at home? Indeed, the U.S. is a net exporter! This means that we have a stable supply and that we’re less affected by those wild swings in the global energy market. So you can enjoy a more predictable energy budget.
When you’re a Seymour Oil & Propane customer, you can rest assured that you’ll always get the propane you need for your home. We provide FREE automatic propane delivery to customers, so you don’t need to worry about checking tank gauges, contacting us for fuel or ever running out.
