Propane is a workhorse when it comes to running some of your home’s vital systems: It delivers powerful heat efficiently, and it’s a smart, ecofriendly alternative to electricity for many household appliances that use heat or hot water—like dryers, dishwashers, and space heaters.
But propane’s benefits don’t stop there. This versatile fuel can power so much more than your furnace or range—it can bring added comfort, convenience, and even a little ambiance to every corner of your home.
Propane can fuel lifestyle upgrades that add enjoyment and boost value to your home. Think cozy indoor fireplaces, outdoor lighting, patio and pool heaters, and of course, your grill.
Here are some of the best ways to put propane’s performance to work throughout your home—inside and out.
Imagine adding the warmth and charm of a wood-burning fireplace to any room, without the mess, smoke, and ash. With propane, it’s possible. Unlike a traditional fireplace, with ventless propane hearths, no chimney is required. You can install a fireplace just about anywhere: living room, dining room, bedroom, even the kitchen. Imagine the luxe, spa-like glamour of a fireplace in your master bath! Propane inserts make it easy to convert a traditional fireplace to gas, too.
Propane can help you extend the seasons and let you enjoy your outdoor living spaces more and longer. Adding safe and efficient propane patio heaters can let you enjoy your outdoor spaces earlier in the spring and later into the autumn. Fire pits and fire bowls are an attractive focal point and gathering space for entertaining friends and family. And propane-fueled pool and spa heaters will warm up the water much faster than an electric heater, and maintain the temperature better once the water is warm. As a result, propane pool heaters help you keep heating costs under control, while letting you enjoy your pool or spa more.
If you have a propane range in your kitchen, you already know that nothing beats the precision and control you get cooking with gas. That’s why it’s the first choice of professional chefs in the kitchen—but it delivers the same precise temperature control on the patio. A propane grill makes outdoor cooking as easy as turning on your kitchen cooktop: Flip a switch, turn a knob and set your heat level. There’s less waiting time, too, because a propane grill is hot and ready to go in about 10 minutes. Compare that to 30 minutes or more to get charcoal hot.
What’s a better upgrade than peace of mind? When storms knock out power, a propane-fueled backup generator will keep your lights on, your refrigerator running and everything else powered up until the utility companies can make repairs. What’s more, a whole house generator can really boost your home’s value and even get you a lower rate on your homeowner’s insurance.
