High-efficiency propane appliances offer best-in-class efficiency, which can lead to big savings for homeowners. Propane furnaces, for example, have ratings of 98% annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE). Homeowners purchasing a high-efficiency propane furnace for a new, cold-climate home could recoup their initial costs in two years due to low equipment and energy costs. Without a doubt, homeowners will save with propane heating.
Propane tankless water heaters can save a typical family more than $100 per year compared with electric heat pump water heaters, which have restrictive space requirements for installation, one-third the hot water flow rate of a tankless system, and a service life that is five to ten years shorter than a propane tankless system.
After comparing the efficiency and performance of propane-powered systems with other models, like those powered by electricity, it’s easy to see why nearly 12 million U.S. households have already adopted propane for heating, cooking, and water heating alone. Propane isn’t just more efficient and affordable than electricity, it’s also cleaner. It produces 43% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than using an equivalent amount of electricity generated from the grid.
Propane can offer a whole-home energy solution, delivering superior comfort and efficiency to homeowners compared with all-electric homes.
