Converting to Propane
Converting to Propane
Converting your home to high-efficiency propane technology can result in lower energy costs while reducing your home’s carbon emissions.
New England’s Propane Rebate Program
We are pleased to participate in the Propane Safe Appliance Installation Rebate Program in New England. This rebate program demonstrates the propane industry’s commitment to consumer safety by offering a rebate for the SAFETY CHECK that is required following the installation of major propane household systems for hot water and central heat. The rebate amounts are $250.00 for the SAFETY CHECK on a propane domestic hot water heater or propane central heating furnace, and $500.00 for the SAFETY CHECK on a propane domestic hot water and propane central heating system. Certain restrictions apply.
The rebate offer applies to all SAFETY CHECKS on new propane appliances installed beginning June 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024 or until funds are depleted. Our team will walk you through the rebate process.
Appliances for new construction are not eligible. Space heaters and pool heaters are not eligible. Propane to propane replacements are not eligible. Rebate reservations must be received on or before December 31, 2024 to be eligible.
Why Switch to Propane?
With over 90% of propane burned in the United States produced domestically, supplies are reliable and prices more stable when compared to fuel oil from foreign sources.
A comparative review of heating systems in both new and existing homes revealed a number of advantages for homeowners in the Northeast who are considering converting their homes from oil to propane:
- A high-efficiency, 95% Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) propane furnace is less expensive to install as a replacement system compared to a standard- efficiency (78% AFUE) fuel-oil furnace. Additionally, a propane furnace has lower operating costs.
- For forced-air furnace systems in new homes, a high-efficiency (95% AFUE) propane-fueled furnace costs about $2,100 less to install and nearly $100 a year less to operate versus a high-efficiency (95% AFUE) oil-fueled furnace.
In new or existing homes, high-efficiency propane furnaces offer payback periods from immediate to less than 1 year, compared to a standard-efficiency fuel-oil furnace.
These comparative costs and ROI calculations don’t include the increasing number of federal, state, and local financial incentives and low-interest loan programs being offered to encourage home energy savings.
