Converting to Propane
Are You Ready to Save Green AND Be Green?
Are you scared to see your heating bill this winter? Are you looking for ways to save money? Do you wish you could help the environment? Now is the time to CHANGE to propane. Converting a home to propane is a straightforward, easy process that will leave you with lower energy bills and a cleaner environment. The average conversion takes 2 days and you could have a new system installed in as little as two weeks.
Switching from heating oil to propane means upgrading to a propane-based Hybrid System. These systems consist of a heat pump that is primarily fueled by propane and has a fossil fuel backup.

Why Switch to Propane?
There are many reasons why switching to a propane system is a good investment:
Better Efficiency
New propane appliances are typically 97% efficient - compared to the usual 56% efficiency of 20 year old heating oil appliances.
Better for Your Wallet
With a hybrid system, you'll enjoy increased efficiency and less volatile pricing - which means smaller, more consistent energy bills.
Better Maintenance
Propane systems are less expensive and cleaner to maintain.
Better Versatility
Heat your home, cook your food, dry your clothes, heat your water, light your fireplace, and have back-up power too!
Better Resale
When it comes time to move, propane-powered homes often have a higher resale value.
Better for the Environment
Reduce your average carbon emissions output by 2.5 tons - annually.
Better for America
95% of propane used in America is produced in America - help reduce dependence on foreign oil.

What else can I use propane for?
Propane is a very versatile fuel. You can use it in many other areas of your home that can help you save money and the environment. You can use propane for:
- Home heating
- Cooking
- Water heating
- Gas fireplaces
- Space heating
- Grilling
- Pool/spa heating
- Drying clothes
One of our favorite ways to use propane (other than with a hybrid or propane heating system) is with a propane-fueled tankless water heater. By using propane with a tankless water heater, you can reduce your overall household energy bills by up to 40% and can reduce water heating costs by 40%-60%. You can also avert up to 1,470 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions – abou the same amount of carbon dioxide that a standard passenger car emits in seven weeks.
