Have you been considering propane for your home, but you’re concerned that switching with be complex and expensive? Have you heard that propane is bad for the planet or dangerous?
At Frank Lamparelli, we’ve been helping South Shore homeowners get reliable home heating, hot water and power for their appliances with propane for many decades. A lot of uninformed chatter goes around about this energy source, and we want to help you separate fact from fiction.
Some people think propane is bad for the environment, but it’s actually one of the cleanest-burning fuels, producing very low carbon emissions and virtually no particulate matter. It’s also 100% methane-free.
In fact, propane is officially recognized as an alternative fuel in the 1990 Clean Air Act and the Energy Policy Act of 1992. Propane-powered appliances are also highly efficient, meaning you’ll use less energy overall. If you’re looking to reduce your carbon footprint, switching to propane is a smart choice.
Many believe propane is costly compared to other energy sources. This ignores the fact that propane is a predominantly U.S.-made energy source with a more stable price than many other options. It also disregards the exceptional efficiency of today’s propane appliances. For example, propane water heaters are typically faster and more efficient than electric ones, which means you’ll use less energy and save money.
