A hurricane. Windstorm. Snowstorm. A blown transformer. There are many reasons why you might suffer a power outage. And while some places in the country might be more prone to outages than others, such as rural areas, you’re simply not immune no matter where you call home.
Power outages can range from a mild inconvenience to life-threatening situations, such as having the power source for your heat knocked out in the middle of winter.
What can YOU do to whether these kinds of storms?
Propane: Power Through Your Outages
One easy, clean and affordable answer is propane. If you choose propane for your appliances, heat and water heater, you can enjoy all of your luxuries like cooking and hot showers even if your power is out. There’s simply no more practical solution to a prolonged power outage than propane gas.
Let’s explore how this gas can benefit your life–or in some extreme situations even save it–especially when the lights go out.
Propane is Your Go-To Power Source
When all else fails, you can always count on propane.
Let’s start with your appliances. If you have an electric stove, for instance, you’re out of business during a power outage. But if you use propane to light up your stove, you’re…well, cooking with gas, as they say!
You can also power your refrigerator with propane. No more dumping food that’s gone bad during a power outage. Reliable propane will keep your perishables from expiring before their expiration date.
A propane stove is a great source of heat when your power is out and you rely on electricity to keep your house warm. Depending on the size of the unit, you can keep most of your home comfortable if you lose power in the dead of winter. You can also choose a propane fireplace to help ride out a power outage that knocks the heat from your home.
If you don’t power individual appliances and a heating source with propane, you could always opt for a standby generator to get power to what you need to get power to with an environmentally clean and affordable gas. And if you have an appropriately-sized storage tank, you’ll have an ample supply of propane. You can easily hold up to a month’s supply in a standard residential tank.
A real benefit of propane for all of these uses is affordability. While other energy sources like natural gas and electricity tend to go up, propane remains an affordable option you can rely on and not break the bank with. No more devastating power losses and money in the bank.
There’s also the fact that propane-powered appliances have a longer life than electric units, so even when the power’s on, your electric stove or refrigerator has a greater chance to go on the blink when you least expect it. So propane is a smart and efficient choice even when you’re not plagued by a power outage.
As you can see, propane is a great ally to have in your corner when the lights go out.
