  • Safe

    Content

    Propane is non-toxic and colorless, making it a versatile fuel that can be used for a variety of indoor and outdoor applications. As a safety precaution, an identifiable smell is added to propane so it can be readily detected in case of leaks.* This helps keep your family safe.

  • Cost-effective

    Content
    • Propane is a byproduct of natural gas processing and sometimes crude oil refining, so the price of propane falls between those two commodities.*
    • ENERGY STAR-qualified propane-fueled furnaces are up to 15% more efficient than standard propane models and can save you up to $85 in energy costs each year.*
    • In homes that have moderate hot water use, tankless water heaters can be up to 34% more energy efficient than conventional storage water heaters.*
