If you ask people what they know about propane, most often the answer will be about propane and BBQ grilling.
While grilling with propane is great, that’s just the beginning of what propane can do for you and your home here in the Hudson Valley and Catskills region.
Let’s dig into the three most common questions we get about propane, so you can learn more about this efficient, green and versatile fuel.

A. Propane is perfectly safe when used properly. Federal, state and local regulations, combined with strict propane industry standards, mean propane may actually be safer than other energy sources. Here are some key safety facts about propane.
A. Consider the total cost of ownership when it comes to comparing fuel sources. That means factor in not only the cost of the fuel itself, but the efficiency of the equipment it powers, the life expectancy of that equipment, among other things. Put all that together, and propane is one of the most cost-effective energy sources on the market.
Today’s high-efficiency propane equipment and appliances have efficiencies of as high as 98 percent. That means 98 cents of every dollar you spend on propane goes to what the equipment does (heating, water heating, etc.). Propane is also a clean-burning fuel. It’s easier on your equipment such as furnaces, boilers and water heaters, meaning the equipment will need less maintenance, fewer repairs, and will have a longer life expectancy.
