What is Propane?

Propane is a liquid fuel that has widespread application and is provided and transported at very low temperatures. In contrast to natural gas, which is transported to houses through pipelines, propane is purchased from a nearby provider in gas bottles that can then be attached to your supply at home. Even though propane is brought to you in liquid form, it must first be vaporised before it can be piped into your home and used to fuel your heating equipment (and maybe other appliances as well). A regulator can be located on the tank or on the wall, and it is responsible for bringing the gas's pressure down to an acceptable level.

Why Use Propane?

The adaptability of propane is a major selling point for the fuel, as it can be used in a number of appliances. When using propane for heating, you have more freedom of choice in terms of which appliances to run on the fuel, the size of the tank required, and whether to buy or rent the necessary equipment.

Propane's high energy output per unit of volume (91,600 BTU per gallon) makes it a very cost-effective fuel. Propane can heat your home faster and keep it warmer for longer than electric can, and it provides the same convenience as natural gas. Finally, if you now heat your house with natural gas or electricity, switching to propane is a straightforward process. Just ask us at Gas Bottles Wimbledon and we will be more than happy to advise you.
