Propane is either created as a by product of gasoline refinement or from crude oil. Additionally, sometimes propane is manufactured from natural gas. The majority of the propane used in the United States is sourced and manufactured domestically. When held under pressure propane is a liquid. When released from the tank, propane is instantly converted into vapor form.

Recently propane has gained in popularity as a clean alternative to gasoline. Many indoor vehicles such as forklifts use propane for this reason.

Not only is propane safe, it is considered a clean burning fuel and has a long and excellent track record of safety. Unlike liquid fuels, propane cannot be accidentally ingested as it takes a vapor form. When delivered by a well trained technician, propane is an exceptionally safe fuel choice for your home or business.

Department of Energy research shows that it could cost nearly twice as much to operate appliances such as a water heater, cooking range, dryer, or home heater with electricity than propane. In southern California where electric prices have skyrocketed in recent years, propane is a very economical choice.

In addition to the lower operating cost, propane heaters have an average life span of twenty years. Compare that to an electric heater system at twelve years.

No. Propane is a clean fuel listed in the 1990 Clean Air Act and the National Energy Policy Act of 1992. Propane is one of the cleanest burning of all alternative fuels; new propane-fueled vehicles can meet the very tough Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) standards, and one model even meets the Super Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) standards. Propane is also nontoxic, so it’s safer for the home.
