Propane is environmental-friendly.
Propane has been certified as a clean fuel and is an approved alternative fuel both by the Clean Air Act of 1990 and the National Energy Policy Act of 1992. Propane or “green” energy fuel is not toxic and cannot be dissolved in water because it is in a gas form, therefore it does not spill over and does not leave an excess element or substance. Propane has qualities of low-carbon content, which means it has a small number of emissions; a by-product of the natural gas-considered clean source and the effects on the environment is friendly. Moreover, it is not toxic since the gas and liquid forms are not an environmental threat even if it discharges in the water, soil or air. If ever released in the air, the greenhouse gas effect is less because propane is a hydrocarbon gas the after-effect on the atmosphere is minimal.
Propane is cost-effective.
A house using propane as fuel has minimal cost compared to an electric fueled house as based on studies by comparing electricity and propane using the BTU(British Thermal Unit) – by measuring the heating value of the two fuels. The U.S. Department of Energy reported that the national fuel prices show that electricity has twice the cost against propane. Therefore, based on the same heating value propane is more cost-effective to electricity.
Propane is easily accessible and available
In truth, almost 90% of the propane used in the United States originated in this country. Our country has abundant natural resources – natural gas and petroleum and the availability is not a problem. Over 95% of propane is produced here in North America.

As per NFPA statistics compilation, the safest way to heat is with gas compared to other energy sources that require more safety steps.
