One of the reasons that propane has become so unbelievably popular in Eastern Panhandle households is its versatility. Propane can power a wide range of products. Many Roach Energy customers already use it for home heating, grilling and fueling their gas ranges. In this article, we want to expand your view of how propane can boost your quality of life.
Here are six amazing uses of propane beyond home heating and cooking.
Every homeowner wants dependable hot water for their showers, taps, baths, washers and dishwashers. Propane gets it done with incredible efficiency. When new and properly sized for your home, a propane water heater warms up water twice as fast as an electric option. Propane tankless water heaters are even more efficient. They deliver endless hot water on demand while using up to 34% less energy!
Today’s state-of-the-art propane dryers leverage our fuel’s superior heat generation and dryness sensors to have much shorter cycles than electric units. Because propane produces slightly humid heat, your clothes will come out of the dryer with fewer wrinkles, too!
When it gets nippy outside, we all love a cozy fire, but wood-burning fires can be a lot of work. That’s where propane really shines.
Propane gas fireplaces eliminate the need to chop wood, add logs, stoke flames or clean up ash. Instead, you can simply push a button or flip a switch to enjoy a cozy fire. Additionally, they enhance safety by reducing fire hazards, such as burning logs or escaping embers. They also contribute to better indoor air quality since they are virtually free from particulate emissions, unlike wood fires, which release harmful fine particulates. Furthermore, with proper maintenance, a gas fireplace can last up to 25 years, making it a durable and long-lasting investment.
Our electric grids have become increasingly unreliable, and inclement weather can lead to downed power lines. The result is that homes lose access to food refrigeration, heating, cooling, lights, communications devices and vital home medical equipment. A standby generator powered by propane can switch on automatically when your home loses grid electricity and can keep your whole house (or select rooms and systems) powered for days!
Want to ensure your home’s pool water is always at the ideal temperature, even at night and well into the fall? A propane pool heater provides dependable, even and efficient heating for your water while minimizing emissions from your home. You won’t need to dip a toe in the pool to be confident your water’s fine to dive in.
When you add a propane fire pit, fire table or outdoor fireplace to your yard, your home will become the most popular spot in the neighborhood for al fresco cocktails, s’mores and all-around good times. These fire features bring some added warmth and a stunning centerpiece to your outdoor space.
