Ideal Bottle Gas

As a fuel, propane is clean and environmentally friendly compared to other available options. Not only is propane insoluble in water, but it is released as a gas, which means that it won’t cause spills or pool, or leave a residue behind.

Not only are propane powered water heaters generally warmer than the electric variety, they’re also more efficient. Propane produces more heat faster than electricity, reducing costs drastically.

Propane was first discovered by chemist and explosives expert Dr. Walter O. Snelling in 1910 during his research of the vapors coming from the gasoline tank vent of the Ford Model T. He identified propane as a component of the vapor and discovered that it could be used for lighting and cooking.

The American Gasol Company was the first and only commercial propane company of its time. In fact, this company, established in 1911 by the U.S. Bureau of Mines, essentially made it so that propane was available to the masses.

Cleanup after a cookout is never anyone’s favorite job. With propane grills, cleaning is easy as taking out the grill plates and washing them with water. There’s never any need to throw out ash that gets everywhere.

Want to install new propane equipment? In addition to providing propane, many propane suppliers can also install propane equipment, such as water heaters or space heaters. This has the added benefit of giving you the certainty of knowing your whole system will work well together.

Propane can save money for the average homeowner. Since propane heats much faster than electricity, it takes less energy to run appliances that operate on propane.

Did you know that a gas water heater heats water at a rate almost twice as fast as an electric water heater? This means that more water is heated quickly and there is less of a chance of running out of hot water.

Propane gas stoves and fireplaces heat more evenly and efficiently than wood-burning ones. They are also capable of heating a much larger area, meaning you don't have to rely so much on your primary home heating system.

There are a wide range of residential applications for which propane makes an excellent fuel. This includes central heating, cooking, water heating, propane fireplaces, clothes dryers, and pool and spa heating.

Do not store propane containers indoors or in enclosed areas, and do not expose them to heat. The consequences are severe - even deadly - if something goes wrong. They can be in a covered area, but the sides must be open.

Did you know that the weather can affect the density of the propane in your tank, causing it to appear as if the tank is leaking? Cold temperatures contract the volume, often lowering gauge readings significantly.

Because of very low sulfur content, propane fuel doesn't contribute to the environmental issue of acid rain. Additionally, greenhouse gas emissions are lower with propane as to virtually all other fuel sources.
