Propane is an exceptional energy source that not only offers warmth and comfort
but is friendly to the environment, too. Propane is one of the cleanest burning
fuels, and it doesn't strain the electric grid, reducing the risk of power
outages.
From furnaces to fireplaces, propane offers new ways to make any home affordably
warm and comfortable year round, while protecting the environment.

WATER HEATER
Millions of Americans use propane to heat water for their showers, washing
machines, and dishwashing. Propane enables you to have plenty of warm water at
an affordable price.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), water heating accounts for
approximately 20 percent of an average household's energy expenditures. Propane
water heaters are up to 50 percent less expensive than electric heaters, so
homeowners can significantly lower their fuel bill with propane.

After the refrigerator, the clothes dryer is typically the second biggest
electricity-using appliance, costing about $85 to operate annually. A typical
clothes dryer will cost $1,100 to operate over its lifetime.
Gas dryers, such as propane, dry clothes more efficiently, and they are less
expensive to operate than electric dryers. The cost of drying a typical load of
laundry in an electric dryer is 30 to 40 cents compared to 15 to 20 cents in a
gas dryer.

Maintenance of the metered system is our problem, not yours. All metered systems
are under a controlled, preventive maintenance program. Once a metered system is
installed, we assume responsibility and any expense involved in keeping the tank,
meter, and regulating equipment on the tank in proper operating condition.
We fill the tank when we install it and continue to re-fill it regularly on a route
basis. You never have to pay to fill the tank. You only pay for the gas you use, after
you use it. You never have to invest money in gas to give yourself a "comfort level" -
we provide it for you.
