Benefits of Propane

This efficient, versatile, American-made fuel ensures the home comfort of Michigan families

Propane is a natural co-product of natural gas extraction and oil refining. It’s used by millions of Americans every day and in countless different ways. Propane heats homes, powers gas stoves and grills, powers dryers, lights up gas fireplaces, fuels generators and warms up water.

However you use propane at your home, Becks Propane can supply it with our dependable propane delivery service. And if you’re curious about why propane is so popular in Eaton, Ingham, Shiawassee, Clinton and nearby counties, please allow us to break that down for you.

Propane is almost entirely made in the U.S.

Virtually all of the propane used in our country is produced domestically. The U.S. has been a net exporter of propane since 2011, so you can feel confident that there is a plentiful supply of this vital fuel.

Being a predominately American-made energy source, propane’s price is generally lower and stabler than that of energy sources that are dependent on foreign providers.

Propane equipment is exceptionally efficient

Propane generates a lot of heat energy. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, a single gallon of propane can produce 91,452 Btu’s of heat energy. That’s the equivalent of about 27 kilowatt hours of electricity. It’s more than double the heating capacity per cubic foot of natural gas.

Today’s propane equipment puts that energy production to great use, so you stay reliably comfortable and waste almost no fuel. Propane heating systems have efficiency ratings as high as 98.5%. Propane water heaters can heat water twice as fast as equivalent electric units, and propane dryers have shorter cycles than electric products.

Propane is green

Propane is a low-carbon energy source, and it doesn’t contain a speck of methane (another potent greenhouse gas). You can also feel confident that propane emits very few oxides and almost no particulate matter. That means a smaller carbon footprint for your home and better air quality for your loved ones.
