Which home heating fuel offers more versatility, affordability and home comfort than any other heating fuel choice?
- Oil
- Electric
- Propane
- Wood
C. Propane.
Propane offers immediate and future energy savings while delivering measurable improvements in comfort and performance - from more efficient home heating and faster hot water heating to higher performance cooking and clothes drying to outdoor lighting, and more.
Which type of whole home heating system is smaller and less expensive to install than any other?
- Propane
- Oil
- Electric
- Wood
A. Propane.
A high-efficiency 95% AFUE propane furnace is less expensive to install as a replacement system than a standard efficiency 78% AFUE fuel oil furnace. In a new home, a propane furnace costs about $2,000 less to install than a forced-air oil furnace system. Plus, a propane heating system is so small that in many homes, it can be mounted on a wall, thus freeing up floor space.
Which type of heating system has a faster payback?
- Oil
- Propane
B. Propane.
In new or existing homes, a high-efficiency propane furnace offers a payback period from immediate to less than a year compared with a standard-efficiency fuel oil furnace. Propane boilers offer similar results.
Which home heating fuel burns cleaner and greener?
- Oil
- Wood
- Propane
C. Propane.
A new high-efficiency propane furnace emits 4,000 fewer pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere annually than a new high-efficiency oil furnace. That's about 32% fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
What percentage of the U.S. propane supply is produced in North America each year?
- 62%
- 75%
- 87%
- 95%
D. 95%.
Propane is almost entirely domestically produced. Nearly 50 million U.S. households use propane in their home and 12 million homes rely on propane for their home heating needs.
Which type of water heater lowers water usage, saves on heating costs, and reduces carbon dioxide emissions?
- Storage water heater
- Tankless water heater
B. Tankless water heaters.
Propane-fueled tankless water heaters can lower water usage by 20%, save up to 60% of water heating costs, and reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by more than 60%. And because water is heated on demand, tankless water heaters supply instant, unlimited hot water.
Propane is a very versatile fuel. You can use propane for heating hot water, cooktops and ovens, clothes dryers, gas fireplaces, pool heating, generators and more.
