If you are currently building a new home, using propane as an energy source is an excellent idea. Although many people mostly rely on electricity or natural gas as an energy source, propane is often overlooked. However, DiSanto Propane has supplied upstate New York with propane since 1937, and we’ve witnessed firsthand the benefits of using propane to power your home. In the summer months, we even install underground propane tanks for our clients. We can only install underground propane tanks in the warmer weather months when the ground is softer, so read the following benefits of using propane in your home:
Clean Energy
You may not be aware that propane is considered a green energy source, but propane use aids in cutting the amount of emissions produced. The National Energy Policy Act of 1992 and the Clean Air Act of 1992 approved the use of propane as an alternative energy source. Propane releases as a gas and is nontoxic and water soluble, so it will not leak into the ground or leave a residue. In fact, propane releases about 10 to 60 percent fewer hydrocarbons than gasoline and reduces the emissions of benzene and toluene by up to 96 percent. The reason that propane has low emissions is due to its low carbon content.
Safe For You
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the propane industry have designed a strict set of safety codes and regulations in order to ensure that propane use is as safe as possible. Propane tanks are extremely durable and are 20 times more puncture resistant than gasoline, ethanol, and methanol tanks. Our underground tanks contain an eco-friendly protective coating made to withstand any harsh environmental conditions. We also cover our underground tanks with sand or earth without any rocks, which protects the tank from underground currents. When you install an underground tank, we make every extra effort to ensure that the soil, groundwater, and small animals living underground are protected from any potential propane-related harm.
Convenience
DiSanto Propane takes care of the installation, service, and delivery of propane to your home. We offer automatic delivery scheduling so that you’ll always have a regular supply of propane. Our 24 hour emergency service is available should you experience a propane emergency at the most inconvenient times.
Save Money
Because propane is so efficient, you will be saving money by switching to propane-powered appliances. Propane-powered clothes dryers can save up to 20 percent in energy costs. Propane kitchen appliances can also save you an average of $80 to $120 in annual energy costs.
Why People Love Propane Appliances
Propane dryers use moist heat, which helps keep your clothes looking fresh and new. Propane kitchen appliances heat and cool quickly, making them a favorite with cooking enthusiasts. Propane ovens also use a moist heat, baking cakes to the perfect mouthwatering texture.
Summer months often fly by, so don’t hesitate to install your underground propane tank before the ground freezes again. Contact DiSanto Propane for all of your home propane services in upstate New York.
