July 7, 2021Although you probably won’t be using your propane to heat your home this summer, there are still plenty of other uses for it this season. If you are planning any fun summertime activities around your home, propane can help make it happen.
Propane is a safe, convenient, environmentally friendly energy source for all kinds of outdoor activities. Here are a few ways that propane can fuel your summer fun!
Grilling
It wouldn’t be summer without a few backyard cookouts! When it comes to grilling, you have a few options: charcoal, pellet, or propane grills. While they all have their benefits, we recommend going with a propane powered grill.
Propane grills offer an ease of use that other varieties do not. For example, you can ignite them with the turn of a knob similar to your kitchen stove. The temperature of this type of grill is also easier to control, making cooking easier and more predictable. When it’s time to clean up, you simply brush the grates and wipe down the exterior, and store it until next time.
Heating your pool
Save a little money on electricity and choose a propane powered pool and hot tub heater. Propane heaters are energy efficient, and are also proven to heat your pool quicker than other options. With a propane pool heater, you’ll be able to enjoy a swim even after the sun goes down!
Water heater
Similar to the benefits of heating your pool with propane, utilizing a propane water heater for your home will save you money and use less energy. Propane water heaters offer higher performance, take up less floor space, and emit less carbon dioxide. You can also choose a tankless water heater that provides an endless supply of hot water, making cold showers a thing of the past!
Patio lighting
If you want to take your patio lighting to the next level, opt for propane lanterns instead of the usual electric lighting. This will give your outdoor living space a cozy and classy feel, and definitely elevate your backyard get-togethers.
Patio/outdoor heaters
Don’t let a chilly evening stop your summer fun! There are many propane powered heating options you can choose from that match your patio aesthetic. These heaters are sure to keep your outdoor space comfortable so you and your guests can enjoy your time together.
Fire pit
When the sun goes down and it starts to get chilly, it’s time to build the fire! There’s no need to chop up wood or worry about adding logs to the fire when you’re trying to enjoy your time with friends and family if you choose a propane fire pit. They are very easy to use, and can be turned on and off with the flip of a switch. Unlike their wood burning counterparts, propane fire pits don’t produce a lot of smoke and you won’t have to worry about cleaning up ashes after the fire dies down. Check out some different propane fire pit options and decide which is right for you!
Backup power (generator)
It’s always a great idea to have a backup power source available, especially this time of year when we are more prone to severe weather. Propane powered generators are great to have in case of an emergency. Propane is readily available and easy to store, making it a great option to fuel your backup power source.
