You have a lot of options for heating your home, but if you’re looking for one that lets you minimize your carbon footprint, or even go off the grid, it’s worth looking into using a propane heater. This affordable heating solution is one of many quality HVAC systems installed by Comfort Tech Heating and Air Conditioning for their Piedmont Triad clients, and it offers some excellent benefits.

Not sure if propane heating is right for you? If you’re interested in the following points, it could be a beneficial heating system for your home:

• Fast Performance: Propane heaters deliver warm air much faster and hotter than other heating options, including electric heating systems. With a temperature of about 115° Fahrenheit, it can heat a full tank of water in as little as 20 minutes. Electric systems, by contrast, can take as long as an hour. If you go through a lot of hot water, this may be desirable to you.
• Low Environmental Impact: Propane burns clean, emitting such a negligible amount of carbon dioxide that it’s listed as a clean fuel under the Clean Air Act. It’s also water-insoluble, meaning it poses no risk to soil or groundwater. Additionally, since propane is a by-product of natural gas production, and over 90% of propane used domestically is produced in the United States, supporting the industry can potentially reduce our reliance on foreign petroleum.
• Strong Smell: To help people recognize gas leaks, propane manufacturers put in an additive that makes it smell. Installing a propane heater could be a good idea provided, your sense of smell is intact; however, if someone in your household has trouble with smell, there are propane gas detectors on the market.
