PROPANE FURNACES
Are you thinking of switching an oil or electric furnace to a propane furnace? High efficiency propane furnaces are affordable, efficient, and have environmentally friendly options that offers comfortable heat.
If you are in an area where Natural gas is not an option propane furnaces can provide effective heating for any size home. The air used for combustion is taken from outdoors, making high efficiency propane furnaces a safe and affordable option
Propane Furnace Vs Oil or Electric
Propane gas furnaces are more efficient when compared to oil furnaces. 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 96% or above. Propane furnaces can be offered with the same technology offered for natural gas furnaces. Two stage or variable stage gas valves offer comfort and cost savings. Furnaces that run on propane also have a longer life span, making them a more efficient, long-term choice.
When compared to electrical heating systems, propane powered heaters are much better equipped to provide higher, more stable temperatures.
Propane Cost
Per litre, the price of propane is generally cheaper than oil or electricity. When you also factor in the costs of installing and maintaining your heating equipment and the average lifespan of the equipment, propane proves to be the less expensive option, being about 30% less costly than electricity and 25% less costly than oil. Propane heaters are also less expensive to repair than other types of heaters.
Propane is an alternative energy source that offers many advantages. Not only is it a superior energy source, it’s clean and non-toxic to the environment. Propane furnaces are significantly more energy-efficient than electric heat pumps or oil furnaces. In addition, furnaces that run on propane have a longer lifetime, helping you save money and energy over time.
