| 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. | |
| Propane gas lets your customers live, sleep and dine in comfort while keeping energy costs down. According to the 2009 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. | |
| Space Heating | |
| Propane will help keep your customers warm – a propane furnace consistently supplies air at 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Electric heat pumps dispense 95-degree air, which is less than body temperature (98.6 degrees), so the air feels cool, not warm. Ultraefficient gas heating equipment can be used in an array of heating applications, including central or zone, forced air and radiant systems. | |
| Water Heating | |
| Propane-fired water heaters have a well-earned reputation for being durable, dependable and economical. A propane water heater can heat more than twice as much water an hour as a comparable electric model. A tankless propane water heater, compared to a standard electric water heater, can reduce energy costs by more than 60 percent and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 61 percent. | |
| 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. | |
