When the temperature drops, there’s nothing better than coming home to a warm, cozy space powered by propane. Propane furnaces and space heaters provide steady, reliable warmth while keeping your home energy-efficient, comfortable, and safe all winter long.
Efficient Warmth You Can Count On
Propane is one of the most efficient energy sources available for home heating. High-efficiency propane furnaces can reach up to 98% efficiency, meaning nearly every dollar you spend goes directly toward heating your home. Compared to electric systems, propane delivers more heat energy per unit, warming your home faster and more evenly.
Beyond performance, propane burns cleanly and produces significantly fewer greenhouse gas emissions than many other fuels. That makes it not only a smart economic choice, but also an environmentally responsible one for families who care about sustainability. With propane, you can enjoy a lower carbon footprint without sacrificing comfort.
Tips to Maximize Heat and Efficiency
- 1. Schedule an annual tune-up.
Before the deep freeze hits, schedule a professional inspection of your propane system. A Paraco technician will clean, test, and fine-tune your equipment to make sure it’s running safely and efficiently. Preventive maintenance helps avoid mid-season breakdowns and costly repairs.Call Paraco today at 800-647-4427 to schedule your service appointment.
- 2. Install a programmable thermostat.
A smart or programmable thermostat can automatically lower the temperature at night or while you’re away and then warm your home before you return. This simple change can reduce your heating costs by up to 10% each year without sacrificing comfort. - 3. Check your air filters.
During the winter, your system works overtime. Clogged or dirty filters restrict airflow, forcing your furnace to work even harder. Clean or replace filters every month during heavy-use periods to keep air moving freely and improve indoor air quality. - 4. Seal drafts and leaks.
Even small gaps around doors, windows, and outlets can let warm air escape and cold air seep in. Use weather-stripping, caulk, or insulation to seal leaks and make sure your home retains the warmth your system produces. - 5. Use your space efficiently.
Keep vents, baseboards, and radiators clear of furniture, drapes, or rugs so warm air can circulate evenly throughout your home. Rearranging a few items can make a noticeable difference in comfort and energy use.
Why Propane Makes Winter Better
Propane offers more than warmth; it offers peace of mind. Whether it’s fueling your home furnace, water heater, fireplace, or backup generator, propane gives you dependable performance even during power outages. You’ll never have to worry about running out of hot water or losing heat when you need it most.
