If you’re looking for an energy source that can fill many roles in your home while keeping your costs manageable and your carbon footprint small, propane is the way to go. We’re honored to deliver this American-made fuel to families in Ellington, across Northern Connecticut, and neighboring Western Massachusetts.
Here are some reasons that people love propane as their home fuel.
When you need your furnace, boiler, or space heater to perform, propane delivers. Each gallon produces roughly 91,452 Btu of heat energy. Matching that output would take about 27 kilowatt-hours of electricity or 88 cubic feet of natural gas. Propane furnaces can warm air to as high as 140°F, keeping your home comfortable no matter how low temperatures drop outside.
Modern propane heating systems can reach efficiency ratings as high as 98.5%, meaning almost none of the fuel you use goes to waste.
The efficiency extends beyond heating, too. Propane water heaters recover roughly twice as fast as electric models, and tankless propane units perform even better. Propane clothes dryers can also cut down your laundry time compared to electric alternatives. And propane-powered gas fireplaces are typically many times more efficient than wood fires.
Propane is recognized as an alternative fuel under both the Energy Policy Act and the Clean Air Act, thanks to its low carbon intensity compared to fuel oil, gasoline, and the average U.S. electric grid. It contains no methane and produces minimal particulate emissions, making it a genuinely eco-friendly option for your home.
Bringing propane service into your home opens the door to a wide range of equipment, including:
Nearly all the propane used in the U.S. is produced domestically, and the country is actually a net exporter of the fuel. That means a stable, dependable supply that’s largely insulated from global energy market swings, giving you a more predictable home energy budget.
