Many people use electric stoves. However, an increasing number have become interested in propane. If your current appliance is reaching the end of its life span, consider the following benefits of switching fuel sources.

Why Invest in a Propane Stove?

1. Cook More Accurately

Propane allows you to set the temperature of the burners more precisely than with other methods. Electric stoves usually need time to heat up to the desired setting, but propane doesn’t. This will enable you to cook meals more quickly and closer in-line with the recipe's heating directions. Conversely, when you are done cooking, you can turn off the flames completely, rather than wait for the burner to cool down. This instant-on, instant-off ability can limit safety risks, such as accidental burns.

2. Save Energy

A propane-powered stove draws its fuel from a tank in your yard. Homeowners can order more on a case by case basis. However, when using this gas for one of your major appliances, it is usually best to arrange for automatic delivery. Luckily, since propane is highly efficient, the cost of these refills is usually less than what you would pay if you had an electric stove. In addition, propane appliances give off less carbon dioxide omissions that electric ones. 

3. Ease Electrical Load

Many older homes' electrical systems are not designed with modern technology needs in mind. Therefore, circuits can become easily overloaded—especially if they have to power multiple large appliances. A propane stove takes some of this stress off your electrical panel, so you are less likely to flip the breakers. Furthermore, if the power gets shut down due to a storm, your stove will still be operable. 

Once you have your new stove, you'll need to arrange for propane tank installation and fuel delivery.
