Energy in Your Home
When it comes to energy for your home, you have a choice. Propane provides the efficiency, affordability and lifestyle amenities that customers demand and expect.
Gas Appliances
Gas appliances provide you with a broad range of lifestyle choices and ways to save. Plus, they add value to your home.
Gas appliances cost less to operate — about half the cost of operating an electric appliance as a general rule. But, you can also have hot water for less, clothes that dry efficiently, a cozy warm house and the ambiance of a fireplace. You really can’t go wrong with any of these choices! So go ahead, it’s your choice.
Please note: It’s recommended that all gas equipment be installed by a qualified licensed professional. It is extremely important that you adhere to the building code in your area and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation and operation. Please contact Sharp Energy for a professional installation.
Kitchen
It’s your kitchen, and you deserve the precision performance that gas cooking offers. Think about it. How much time do you spend in the kitchen? There’s no reason in the world why you shouldn’t make life easier with the precision performance of gas cooking.
State-of-the-art gas appliances offer the efficiency and performance demanded by today’s families. You’ll find many styles and models of ranges, cooktops and ovens to choose from.
Propane gas cooking appliances also cost less to operate – about half the cost of operating an electric range. They have pilotless ignition systems that use an electric current to light the burners, instead of the standard pilot light of yesteryear’s stoves. That saves money and energy. Plus, during power outages, gas ranges can be a lifesaver because they can still be lit manually.
Outdoors
Time to relax and have some fun. Today’s broad range of propane gas appliances for outdoor applications go a long way to ensure that you can do just that. Enjoy the warm glow of a gas light, good food hot off the grill, a refreshing swim in a heated pool, or a comforting fire on a cool evening.
Pool and Spa Heaters
Propane pool and spa heaters are available in a range of sizes from 5,000 Btu/hr. for a spa or hot tub to 400,000 Btu/hr. for a full-size swimming pool. Plus, they bring the water to the desired temperature more quickly than an electric heater. Propane pool and spa heaters operate cleanly, and allow you to enjoy your backyard year-round.
Fireplaces and Fire Pits
If you want to manage environmental impact without giving up the ambience of real flames, choose a propane-powered fireplace or a fire pit for your backyard oasis. Using propane will keep your patio clear of soot and ash, plus your guests won’t leave smelling like a campfire. Another great benefit of choosing propane is having access to turn it on and off in an instant.
Tankless Water Heaters
Propane tankless water heaters provide comfort, versatility, convenience and efficiency by supplying high volumes of hot water with compact and highly innovative technology.
- Delivers consistent supply of water.
- Only heats water when it’s needed.
- Compact size saves roughly 12 square feet of floor space.
- Saves more than $150/year in energy costs when compared with typical electric storage water heaters.
- Roughly half the CO2 emissions of electric storage tank systems.
- Qualifies for credits and rebates worth hundreds of dollars (new construction and replacements.)
Generators
Propane standby generators are a powerful, reliable way to protect homes and families, as well as buildings and businesses, from the damage a power outage can cause. Plus, portable propane generators are powerful enough to meet job site demands, too. And, because propane does not degrade over time like gasoline, the fuel supply is more stable and reliable.
A standby generator powered by propane offers advantages that other fuel sources simply can’t match:
- Permanently installed and supplied by an above- or below-ground tank, it starts automatically, the moment the power goes down.
- Supplies backup electricity in as little as 10 seconds after an outage.
- Propane doesn’t degrade over time, unlike diesel or gasoline, making it an ideal standby power fuel.
- Most units produce as little as 60 decibels of noise, comparable to normal conversation.
- Available in a variety of capacities to fit the needs of any size home.
- Produces significantly fewer greenhouse gas emissions than diesel or gasoline.
- Propane is non-toxic, non-poisonous and won’t contaminate soil or water.
- Can handle an entire home’s energy needs for days, unlike solar- or wind-powered systems.
