Propane (also called LPG -- liquefied petroleum gas -- or LP gas) is a liquid fuel stored under pressure. In most systems, propane is vaporized to a gas before it leaves the tank. Propane is flammable when mixed with air (oxygen) and can be ignited by many sources, including open flames, smoking materials, electric sparks, and static electricity. Severe freeze burn or frostbite can result if propane liquid comes in contact with your skin.
Propane gas or LP (liquid propane) has been on the increase in the last ten years as an alternate source of home heating fuel. Natural gas and propane gas should not be confused with each other. Natural gas is a product of the environment and propane gas is a by-product of crude oil.
Propane works hard, burns clean, and it costs less than electricity. Because propane burns hotter and more evenly than many other fuels, appliances powered by propane use less energy and in turn save you money. Propane is one of the most efficient fuels you can use and is a great alternative to electricity for home heating.
Propane may be a good alternative to oil for heating a newly constructed addition to your home. You can use propane for space heating, heating water, drying clothes, cooking, fueling backup power generators, heating swimming pools and powering outdoor lights. Finally, propane provides clean-burning flames for your fireplace, and it costs up to 60% less to operate than wood-burning fireplaces.
