Unlike oil, a propane heating system uses less electricity. This would reduce your hydro costs by $500 a year or more! Long term, a clean-burning propane furnace requires substantially less ongoing maintenance annually than an oil furnace. This is due largely to the fact that there is no accumulation of soot or carbon inside of a propane furnace. Lastly, the government's carbon tax on propane is typically less than what you would pay for consuming oil.

Compared to older oil furnaces which have a 60% - 80% burning efficiency, high-efficiency propane furnaces achieve between 93% - 97% efficiency. This means the propane furnace provides more heat in your house. Additionally, appliances and furnaces that run on propane provide more efficient heating on a per BTU basis. This also results in more money saved.

Since there is no accumulation of soot or carbon inside of a propane furnace, this makes it safer as these residual particles are flammable and bad for one's health. Propane's greenhouse gas emissions are also 38% lower than heating oil. In the unfortunate event that your oil tank gets damaged, home heating oil spills can seep into the soil causing environmental damage and can require extensive soil remediation. This would have long-lasting effects on your soil's health. In the rare event that propane is released, it dissipates harmlessly into the air.

Installing a propane heating system will make your home more attractive to potential buyers if you ever decide to sell it. Many homebuyers are looking for a turn-key property where they don't have to invest a lot of money in updating the house. Homebuyers will be happy with the efficiency, affordability and versatility of propane uses around the house, making it an excellent all-around investment.

As mentioned before, getting home insurance or even acquiring a mortgage is often times harder if your house uses oil. In some cases, converting from oil to propane can reduce insurance premiums because propane does not pose a risk to the environment or property in the rare event of a leak.

Propane is versatile and can efficiently power other appliances around your house. From water heaters, indoor and outdoor fireplaces, appliances, emergency backup generators and pool heaters, propane is more than just clean, reliable heating fuel for homeowners.
