Here are five reasons why you should switch your home from electric to propane.

No More Power Outages

Most, if not all, people who use electricity have experienced a power outage before. Things like bad weather can bring down power lines and leave you without energy for hours, which is an extreme inconvenience. With propane, you won’t have to worry about power outages that affect all the homes around you. As long as your propane tank is filled up, you’ll be able to continue to power your home. Many people also choose to have propane-powered backup generators for this reason. 

Propane is Efficient

When it comes to heating and powering homes, most people are interested in the most efficient ways to help save them money. If you’re heating and energy bills are higher than you’d like, now may be the time to switch to propane. This is an extremely efficient energy source and can require less energy to do the same job as electricity. By converting electric heat to propane, you can keep your home just as warm for less money.

It’s an Eco-Friendly Option

Are you looking for more ways to be environmentally-friendly in your life? If so, switching to propane is a great choice for you. Propane is a clean-burning gas and is much more eco-friendly than other fuels, making it a green choice to power and heat your home. With propane, you have the comfort of knowing that you’re doing what you can to help protect the environment every time you use it.

Propane Offers Versatility

With propane, you have a lot of different options for how you can use it. While some use propane as their home’s main energy source, and while there are many benefits to this, you don’t have to do this. You can use propane for heating, and then electricity for your appliances, for example. Propane allows you to choose how you want to power your home, so you can choose what works best for you and your needs.

Storage and Refills are Easy

One factor that might be holding some back from switching to propane is storing it at home. Unlike electricity, you’ll need to have propane delivered to your house, where you need an area to store it, and you’ll also have to schedule refills to ensure you have enough when you need it. This might seem like a lot of work, but it really isn’t. You’ll need to make space to accommodate your propane tank at first, but after that, all you need to do is schedule home deliveries. This is a slight amount of extra work, but it’s worth it for the benefits that propane offers.

Keep Your Guests Warm

As colder weather begins to set in, many restaurants face the challenge of how to keep those in outdoor seating areas warm. Adding a non-enclosed tent with outdoor propane patio heaters, or a partially enclosed tent powered by propane, is a great  way to help make your guests feel warm and comfortable during these colder months ahead. As a portable fuel source, propane tanks can easily be placed at these new or expanded outdoor locations without having to make costly infrastructure upgrades. Propane goes wherever you need it, whenever you need it!

Set Dining Expectations Up Front 

In outdoor spaces, guests may not know when to wear a mask, how to move around, or what to expect in general. Some restaurants are giving guests menus and a card with rules, while others have found that having guests scan a QR code that links to their online menu to be safer, faster, and easier. Be sure to explain how the process will work and what everyone needs to do to remain safe. Never be shy of over communicating with your guests. 

Invest Wisely in Outdoor Décor & Embrace Your Surroundings

We understand that it may be tough to afford new outdoor furniture during times like this, but any investments that you make in additional seating should pay off in additional sales and will allow you to continue to serve as many customers as possible during these challenging times.

Many restaurants are forced to get creative with the space they have, and by using portable propane tanks and heaters, this versatile fuel allows you to create dining areas in the most challenging spaces! Be sure to be fun and creative in these newly designed spaces to keep your customers coming back for more!

Get the Word Out! 

Everyone is eager to dine at restaurants again, but they don’t always know if their favorites have outdoor seating or are open for take-out! Post photos of your new menus and dining spaces on your social media platforms (i.e. Facebook Business Page, Facebook Groups, Instagram) to get the word out about your restaurant moving outdoors!
