Social Benefits of Propane Gas Systems
According to the American Gas Association, nearly 69% of new single-family homes in the U.S. feature gas heat. Studies show that American consumers express a strong preference for gas. It is a more economical, far more
efficient and cleaner-burning fuel. Propane gas is about 98% efficient while coal-based electricity is about 28% efficient, so using gas reduces outdoor pollution as well as greenhouse gas and particulate emissions.
Most homeowners prefer using gas appliances. Gas ranges heat more evenly, gas water heaters recover twice as fast as electric ones, and gas furnaces are more comfortable because they produce warmer air than an electric heat pump.
In addition to the proven advantages of gas energy over electric, central gas systems provide immeasurable benefits to the community at large. Homes that utilize dual-fuels are more comfortable,
obtain higher appraisals than all-electric homes, and give homeowners the peace of mind that accompanies the use of a recognized alternative “green” energy. Such communities are cleaner and more comfortable because they use propane delivered by an HBH Gas System.
