| Many commercial establishments, such as hotels, motels and restaurants, use propane in the same way a homeowner does: for space heating, water heating (including pools) and cooking. | |
| Space Heating | |
| The use of propane gas for space heating has been increasing for a number of reasons: the low cost of gas compared to electricity; improved heat-transfer designs; greater venting options; and improved combustion technologies. | |
| Propane gas lets your customers live, sleep and dine in comfort while keeping energy costs down. According to the 2003 Department of Energy figures, electricity costs more than 1-1/2 times more per BTU than propane. Actual operating costs will vary depending on the efficiency of the appliance or system used and local rates. | |
| Water Heating | |
| Propane-fired water heaters have a well-earned reputation for being durable, dependable and economical. In most places, heating water with gas costs half as much as heating water with electricity. And besides saving you money, efficient gas water heaters assure you of having all the hot water when you need it. The cost advantage that gas water heating systems provide over competitive energy sources continues to increase due to technological advances. | |
| Cooking | |
| Why do chefs prefer to cook with gas? Because with its instant response and variable flame, only gas gives chefs the heat they want and the control they need for better cooking. And today's new energy efficient gas cooking equipment makes gas even more economical to use. Manufacturers are continually making equipment smaller, quicker and more energy efficient, which helps keeps energy overhead costs down. | |
