In recent years, there’s been a noticeable push to promote electricity as the primary energy source. You might have even received offers from electric companies claiming you can “save money by switching from propane to electric.” While rebates may make this seem appealing, the cost savings with electricity often stop at the rebate.
The simple truth? Propane is the better choice.
Propane is delivered and stored directly at your home or business, ensuring a constant, reliable energy supply that is there when you need it. In fact, many people choose propane to power backup home and business generators for exactly this reason—dependability.
Compare this to electricity, which loses 2.52 units in line transmission for every unit used. This is an inefficiency that makes electricity more costly and less environmentally friendly over time.
Propane is a primary energy source. Different sources like coal, natural gas, or renewables produce electricity. This means propane is ready for immediate use, making it both more efficient and less energy-intensive to produce.
Propane-powered furnaces outlast their electric counterparts—typically 5 to 10 years longer than electric heat pumps. Given the high cost of these appliances, the longer lifespan of propane systems translates to fewer replacements and repairs, saving you significant money.
