When summer temperatures climb, so can your energy bills. Air conditioners run nonstop. Hot water use increases. You’re grilling more, entertaining guests, and running appliances at full tilt. It all adds up—fast.

But what if you could stay comfortable without burning through your budget? That’s where propane comes in.

At Tankfarm, we believe energy shouldn’t be a hassle—or a mystery. Here’s how switching to propane (and using it strategically) can help you lower your energy bills this summer while keeping your home running efficiently.

Why Propane? A Cleaner, Smarter Fuel Choice

Propane is a clean-burning, domestically produced energy source that delivers serious performance. Compared to electricity and heating oil, propane offers faster heating, higher energy efficiency, and lower operating costs. In fact, propane appliances can be up to 50% more efficient than their electric counterparts.

That means you’ll get more heat, hot water, and cooking power while using less fuel and spending less money.

Unlike heating oil, propane burns cleanly. You won’t deal with soot, sludge, or the messy maintenance that oil systems require.

1. Upgrade to a Propane Water Heater

One of the most effective ways to reduce your summer energy bill is by upgrading to a propane-powered tankless water heater. Traditional electric water heaters constantly store and reheat water, wasting energy when it’s not in use.

Propane tankless systems only heat water on demand, saving you up to 30% annually on water heating costs. Bonus: They deliver endless hot water, which comes in handy during summer showers, laundry days, and after-pool rinses.

2. Use Propane for Outdoor Living & Cooking

From grilling to patio heating, propane makes outdoor living more affordable and enjoyable. Propane grills heat up faster than charcoal and burn more cleanly, saving you time and money while reducing emissions.

Got a pool or spa? Propane pool heaters are significantly more efficient than electric models and heat water much faster, so you use them less and save more.

You can also power outdoor fire pits, torches, and patio heaters with propane for a cozy (and efficient) summer setup.

3. Switch to a Propane-Powered Dryer or Stove

If you’re running your dryer more often in summer (hello, pool towels), switching to a propane-powered clothes dryer can lead to significant energy savings. Propane dryers dry clothes faster than electric models and leave fewer wrinkles, which means less ironing (you’re welcome).

Propane ranges and cooktops also offer more precise temperature control and quicker cooking times, making them both efficient and fun to use, especially when you’re feeding a crowd.

4. Smart Tank Monitoring = Smarter Spending

Here’s where Tankfarm changes the game. With our smart tank monitoring system, you’ll never waste money on emergency refills or unnecessary deliveries.

We track your propane levels in real time and automatically schedule deliveries before you run out of propane. That means no guessing, no calling, and no overpaying for last-minute fuel.

5. Optimize Home Cooling with Propane-Powered HVAC

Did you know propane can also power your home’s central air system or mini-split cooling unit?

Propane HVAC systems are incredibly efficient and can help keep your home cooler for less. They use less electricity and often require less maintenance over time. Pair a propane system with programmable thermostats and proper insulation to see real savings on your summer utility bills.

If you’re considering an HVAC upgrade, our Tankfarm Comfort Consultants can help you explore propane-powered options that are energy-efficient, reliable, and ideal for your space.

If you’re tired of unpredictable energy bills and clunky oil or electric systems, propane is the smarter, cleaner alternative. Whether it’s heating your water, powering your grill, or running your appliances, propane helps you do more with less—and Tankfarm makes it easier than ever.
