Setting the Record Straight about Propane

Propane is safer, cleaner and more affordable than you might have heard

propane Harrisburg, PA In our 80+ years of serving customers in Central and Southeastern Pennsylvania, we’ve found that folks really want to be sure their home energy is safe, efficient and good for the planet. We answer a lot of questions and debunk a lot of myths. Here are five of the most common.

Myth: Propane is expensive compared to other energy sources.

Many believe propane costs more than other energy options, but this overlooks important facts. Propane is a predominantly U.S.-made energy source with more stable pricing than many alternatives. Today’s propane appliances are exceptionally efficient — propane water heaters, for example, heat faster and more efficiently than electric ones, using less energy and saving you money.

For homeowners in Harrisburg and across our region of Pennsylvania, Koppy’s Propane offers predictable pricing through our monthly payment plan that spreads costs evenly throughout the year, eliminating surprise bills during high-usage periods.

Myth: Propane harms the environment

Propane is actually one of the cleanest-burning fuels available. It produces very low carbon emissions, virtually no particulate matter and is 100% methane-free.

Propane is officially recognized as an alternative fuel in the 1990 Clean Air Act and the Energy Policy Act of 1992. Combined with the exceptional efficiency of propane appliances, switching to propane is a smart choice for reducing your carbon footprint.

Myth: Propane isn’t safe for homes

One of the most persistent misconceptions is that propane poses safety risks. In reality, propane is one of the safest energy sources available when handled properly.

Strict safety guidelines from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) ensure propane is highly regulated. It burns clean and includes a non-toxic odorant (that distinctive “rotten egg” smell) to detect leaks early. With professional installation by licensed technicians at Koppy’s Propane, your tank and appliances are set up safely and securely, giving you complete peace of mind.
