In today's society, we are often confronted with the decision to be either cost efficient or environmentally conscious. Getting to work, heating our home, and washing our clothes are all choices that impact both our wallet and our environment. In many cases, convenience and economy do not translate to environmentally-friendly. However, as technology develops and the drive for environmental preservation continues in Canada, more cost-effective and eco-friendly options are emerging.
One place in particular that all Canadian families are looking for an economical way to limit their carbon footprint is at home. Rising electricity costs have many Canadian families looking for an alternative energy source to use. Propane is a modern energy source, with an enviable safety record, that provides exceptional value for hundreds of thousands of Canadians. Propane is a clean-burning gas that offers homeowners enhanced air quality and increased performance for appliances such as pool, patio, space and water heaters, clothes dryers, and refrigerators.
Propane is a versatile fuel and its value comes through in all of its applications. Studies show that heating a home with propane costs half as much on average as heating a home with electricity. When it comes to hot water, propane heaters can be less expensive to operate than electric ones.
Along with propane's strong economics, its availability is equally strong. Canada is the sixth largest producer of propane in the world, making the energy source available to all Canadians. Plus, the country is home to industry leaders like Superior Propane, who have helped make using it for home heating as simple as possible. Its new mySUPERIOR online portal even allows homeowners to order propane, check their account, and pay online.
