The evening temperatures are dropping in Springerville and all throughout our Arizona and New Mexico service area. Homeowners need to be confident that their families will stay warm and safe even when the weather outside is teeth-chattering cold.
At Sierra Propane, we are a proudly full-service home comfort provider. Not only do we deliver premium propane gas to customers, but we also provide comprehensive equipment services, including the installation of some of the most efficient appliances around. These products include the following:
These high-performance appliances and amenities achieve such exceptional efficiency in part because of propane’s high Btu output.
Btu stands for British thermal unit. It is the measurement of choice for the heat content of energy sources. One Btu is the amount of heat needed to raise a pound of water’s temperature by 1° Fahrenheit.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, one gallon of propane can generate 91,452 Btu . Let’s compare that to other standard energy sources. You’d need about 88 cubic feet of natural gas or 27 kilowatt hours of electricity to achieve the same Btu output.
Today’s propane-powered heating systems are more fuel-efficient than ever before. You can find propane furnaces that have fuel efficiencies of 98.5%. That means that pretty much all the heat energy generated from burning propane goes to heating your home, and virtually none of it is wasted. Modern furnaces also have efficiency features like multi-stage burner systems and variable-speed blowers. These features allow you to moderate fuel usage when your heating needs are lower.
Propane heating systems are also exceptionally reliable at maintaining the home temperatures you want. A propane furnace will dependably deliver air heated to about 120°F regardless of how cold it is outside. By contrast, electric heat pumps — which depend on heat for outdoor air to warm your home — often struggle to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures when it’s freezing outside.
