Over 8 Million households use propane gas to fuel their home heating systems.
| Propane | Electric |
|---|---|
| A propane furnace consistently supplies air at 120ºF, so the air feels warm. | Electric heat pumps dispense air at 95ºF (lower than your body temperature), so the air still feels cool even though the heat is on. |
| Propane gas furnaces last an average of 20 years and cost less to repair than electric heaters. | Electric heat pumps only last an average of 12 years. |
| Propane-fueled space heaters produce fewer air pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions than those fueled by oil and electricity. | Global warming, here we come. |
| On average, propane gas water heaters are 42 percent less expensive than electric heaters. | Electric water heaters cost approximately $10 more per month to operate than comparable propane units. |
| Propane gas water heaters have a quicker recovery rate than electric water heaters, so you’ll have hot water when you need it. | Make sure you are the first one to take a shower if you want hot water. |
| Over an average unit’s life span, propane gas water heaters can save homeowners nearly $2,000 when compared to an electric unit. | Now about that family vacation… |
In addition, propane furnaces cost less to repair than electric heaters. Propane gas fireplace systems cost between 30 to 60 percent less per hour of operation than do wood-burning fireplaces.
