Propane Services

Did you know that almost 90% of the propane used in the United States is produced domestically? Therefore, reliability is very high with minimal dependence on foreign suppliers. Propane is also the most universal of residential fuels, having the ability to power a wide range of appliances from a single fuel source. This non-toxic, environmentally friendly fuel meets all clean air energy standards put forth by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

We deliver clean-burning, efficient propane to fuel many of your home appliances. We also supply, install, and service all types of propane equipment. Because propane burns hotter and more evenly than many other fuels, appliances powered by propane use less energy. By upgrading to a new propane appliance, your energy savings alone will pay for your new equipment and will offer years of reliable home comfort.

Propane can be used for all of the following:

  • Heat
  • Hot Water
  • Cooking
  • Clothes Drying
  • Gas Grills
  • Space Heaters
  • Fireplaces
  • Electric Generators
  • Pools
