What Does Propane Have in Common with Apples?
October is Apple Month, and so we ask: How is an apple like propane?
An apple is a versatile fruit. You can bake it into a pie, cook it into a sauce, fry it into fritters, and much more.
Propane is versatile fuel. You can use it to:
- Heat your home and hot water
- Cook your meals
- Run your clothes dryer
- Power your indoor fireplace
- Operate your generator
- Warm up your outdoor pool
- Light up your patio ... and more!
But versatility isn’t the fuel’s only advantage. Propane can also improve your comfort while saving you money. It is less expensive to use than electricity, and propane furnaces provide a significantly higher quality of heat. And, because propane is stored safely in a tank on your property, it’s immune to electrical grid failures.
