What Are The Benefits Of Propane?
- Propane heat is hotter than electric heat: A propane gas furnace heats air to about 130 degrees F to 140 degrees F.
- Safe to store: Propane can be stored safely in a tank on your property, while electricity is subject to power outages.
- Propane furnaces last longer than electric heat pumps: Propane-fueled furnaces last 5 to 10 years longer than electric heat pumps, on average. Propane is more dependable than electricity.
- Built-in safety properties: Propane won’t ignite when combined with air unless the source of ignition reaches 940 degrees.
- Propane is clean: Propane is an approved alternative fuel listed in both the Clean Air Act of 1990 and the National Energy Policy Act of 1992.
How Long Does A Propane Furnace Last in Madison, CT?
A propane furnace lifespan is around 15-30 years. With regular, scheduled, yearly furnace maintenance, your furnace should easily last over 15 years.
