Propane Stoves and Appliances Advantages

There are several advantages that a propane stove and other appliances have over electric.  They are cleaner, more reliable and offer a better value than buying electric. 

Propane is a more environmentally friendly choice when it comes to reduced green house emissions and saved energy.  The gas burns cleaner than other options.  By reducing the amount of electricity that you use, you not only save money, but also help to save the environment.

 

Other energy sources, such as electric, will not work in some areas.   Propane gas has always been a popular choice for campers, hunters and hikers.  It is the favorite choice for outdoor grills and creates far less emissions than burning charcoal.  It costs less, too.

For those who like a cozy indoor fire, a gas burning stove or fireplace is a neater alternative than a wood burning model.  The available systems are safe and easy to use.  Propane systems are subject to stringent regulations developed by the industry and the National Fire Protection Association, the NFPA. 

Statistics complied by the NFPA indicate that gas is the safest way to heat your home.  The gas will not ignite when combined with air, unless the source of ignition reaches 940 degrees, a much higher temperature than it takes to ignite other fuels.  The gas is non-toxic and not harmful to soil or water. 

The industry teaches safe use and provides an effective preventative maintenance program called 'GAS Check' (gas appliance system check). 

There are many resources available for information on costs to install and maintain a gas stove or other appliance.  Professional installers are required to be well trained in safety and continuing education is mandatory.

Today, there are many gas powered appliances on the market, as well as lighting.  Outdoor lamps of this type offer efficiency and reliability.  Imagine never again needing to change the bulbs in your exterior lights. 

Manufacturers offer wall and post mounts in modern and antique styles that can add elegance to the exterior of any home.  The lighting will operate even during a power outage.

Any propane appliance is cleaner and less expensive to operate than the alternatives.  When it comes to cooking, there are even more advantages.  The cook has more control over temperature and heat distribution.  The burners cool quickly and pose no safety hazard. 

According to a recent survey conducted by the Professional Chefs Association, 96% prefer a propane stove.  I am certain that you will prefer one, too.

Picking a Qualified Service Technician

The technician should be able to provide proof of his Oil Heating License; law requires it.
This and other factors in determining his/her qualifications are discussed in my Special Report.

Smart controls: The latest in micro-processing technologies allows the system to automatically adjust itself to changing environmental requirements resulting in fewer on/off cycles. This reduces fuel consumption, wear on equipment, exhaust emissions and electrical usage by the system.

High-pressure flame retention burners: Hotter flames with less air and fuel required are evidence of improvements in the high-flow atomization and vaporizing technologies used in the newer burners today.

Safe: Fuel oil, in its natural liquid state, wont burn. It must be vaporized to ignite. It will not burn if a lit match is thrown into a puddle of it. By virtue of this quality, it cannot explode when exposed to a spark or flame. Also, heating oil fumes are not poison like natural gas.

Clean Burning: The average oil burning system emits 6 ounces of particulate emissions (soot) per year or roughly 1/8th of a pound of soot for every ton of fuel oil burned. That marks a 95% improvement over the last 25 years or so. There are no federal regulations on heating oil emissions.

If you heat with another source of energy or are building new, then you should be aware that heating oil is a viable option to meet your familys heating needs.

Heating oil technology has kept pace with the competition from other heating options and in some cases surpassed it. If you currently heat with oil, then it is a safe bet that it will continue to serve you well into the new century before us.
