Reasons To Switch To Natural Gas Or Propane
If your house has an old oil heating system or gas furnace, you could be wasting a lot of money. Older heating units may be only 55 – 65 % efficient, but a new generation of technology has produced natural gas/propane heaters that have an efficiency rating of 95 % or more. If you live in a wintry climate, changing to a high-efficiency natural gas/propane boiler or furnace will generate large savings, lower your carbon footprint, and give you a warm, comfortable house.
Do the math:
The numbers are stunning. If your existing oil heating is only 60 % efficient, adding a new natural gas/propane boiler rated at 90 % efficiency will cut fuel use by one-third. At the same time, natural gas/propane makes fewer pollutants than other petroleum-based products. For example, natural gas/propane heaters produce 37 % fewer pollutants than oil heaters. Natural gas/propane powered boilers also require less frequent repairs than oil models, and also are whisper-quiet.
Less space, less waste:
Today’s natural gas/propane central heating boilers are more than cost effective. Most on-floor models take up little space, and wall-hung central heating boilers can actually fit in a cabinet. As a bonus, propane storage tanks are installed outside the house. That means more room in you house for what really matters — and no potential for damaging oil leaking that can occur with oil tanks.
3 recommendations for safe installation and maintenance:
Each day, many individuals use natural gas/propane for their house heating needs. If you’re ready to make use of natural gas/propane’s outstanding power, consider the following tips:
Evaluate your needs. Before buying a new furnace, consider having a trained natural gas/propane installation company size the house heating needs. The Energy Department says many homes have large heating devices, which leads to incorrect (and wasteful) operation.
Hire a professional. Only a competent services specialist should install, service, and maintain your new natural gas/propane appliance.Schedule an yearly examination. A yearly appliance assessment by a competent specialist will help ensure that your boiler’s pilot light and air flow devices are operating at peak performance.
