Whether you plan to use it mainly as a secondary heat source or simply a practical and decorative way to heat a room or two in your home, a propane gas stove can be a welcome addition when it comes to long, harsh winters. If power outages rob you of your main heat supply or you wish to create the kind of ambiance a propane heating can provide, then a propane-fueled stove is for you.
Before you discount the idea of a freestanding stove as a heat source because you fear that it might not fit into your home’s style, consider that propane gas stoves blend the classic and the contemporary.
New models have the look of old wood-burning stoves while fitting right in with modern décor.
Why else would a gas stove be a sensible move for you this winter?
Well, it could be cheaper to run a propane gas stove than it could your usual heat source. Propane gas stove heating gets warmer faster, so you’ll burn and spend less. Settle in for a movie night with the whole family in a den or family room on a cold winter’s night and let the propane stove keep you comfortable while you save a few dollars on your energy bill.
Additionally, a propane stove could add value to your home, as it offers a viable back-up heat source in the case of power outages.
If you’re in the market for a gas stove, Diversified Energy partners with some of the top manufacturers in the industry. Want an Astria gas stove or a Kozy Heat gas stove?
