When planning your renovations, consider adding propane appliances to the list of “Must Haves”. With a built-in supply of fuel on your property, the options are endless for what appliances you can integrate into your home utilizing propane. At Blue Ridge Propane, we can help you decide what type of heat source is best for your home. We work with builders to determine what will be the most efficient way to heat a new or remodeled home.
Not only is propane a safe and efficient fuel, but in many applications, it is less expensive to operate than electric units. Propane generates more BTU’s that an equivalent amount of electricity. Therefore, you need less propane to generate the same amount of heat energy. Propane units are clean burning and waste very little fuel in the combustion process. This makes propane better for the environment, and is considered a ‘green fuel’.
Another primary source for energy savings are tankless water heaters. We carry two of the industry leading brands; Noritz and Rinnai. We can size your home for the correct unit, as well as service the unit in the years to come. Propane water heaters overall last longer than electric models, produce hot water faster, and generally need less space to operate. Our recommendation is that all tankless water heater units have a service call every two years, to rinse any calcium deposits from the cabinet and lines. This is something our licensed service professionals can complete for you at your convenience.
