When you need an alternative energy source, propane is a great option. It burns cleaner, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and it’s non-toxic to people, animals, and the environment. Owens Energy  in Show Low, AZ, has provided expert propane delivery, propane tank sales and leasing, and cylinder filling and servicing to residents and businesses since 1999. Their professionals know when you use propane as an alternative fuel source for your home or business, you’re helping the environment as well as benefitting economically.

Why should you use propane as an alternative fuel source? Owens Energy has four good reasons:

• Environmentally Friendly: Gasoline, oil, and coal emit pollutants into the air when burned, while propane burns cleaner than other fuel sources. Since propane vapor is non-toxic to people and animals, it won’t cause harm if it’s released into the air and inhaled. In addition, if propane is spilled, it won’t contaminate or damage nearby soil, water, fresh or saltwater ecosystems, or other marine life.
• Economically Friendly: Propane is extremely efficient. It will warm up faster than other heat sources and stay warmer longer. This means you’re spending less money on fuel to heat your home or business, which will be reflected in your energy bills. On average, appliances that use propane also cost less to purchase and last longer than ones that use gas or electricity.
• It’s Safe: Propane has a low flammability rating and is safe to use when it’s properly handled. Maintenance programs like GAS Check® teach propane delivery providers and homeowners how to use and handle propane safely and correctly. Propane tanks are made from carbon steel and are 20 times more resistant to punctures than tanks that contain gasoline, ethanol, or methanol.
• It’s Reliable: Propane tanks can be transported to any location. This is ideal for homes and businesses that do not have easy access to gas pipelines or electric power lines. If your home does have an electrical connection, you can use propane as a fuel source if you experience a power outage. Since propane is made from natural gas and petroleum, there’s plenty available and it’s readily accessible. Other fuels resources, such as oil and coal, are limited in quantity and can eventually run out.
