Why Propane Is Ideal For Backup Generators
When you live in a remote area, a power outage can be both dangerous and frightening. However, when your home appliances are run on propane, or you’re using a backup propane generator, power interruptions are less of a worry. Propane-powered generators are installed outside and can power everything from your refrigerator to your phone charger within your home. As one of the most reliable fuel-sources, propane is ideal for powering backup generators. When you set up automatic or will-call delivery with CanGas, you can count on dependable service, so you’ll never have to worry about running out. In addition to functioning as an emergency power supply for essential appliances, a propane generator may also act as the primary power source for your home.

Why Make The Switch?
Benefits Of Using A Propane Generator
You can make the switch to propane at any time, whether you want to use a propane generator to power your entire home or as a backup or supplement to your furnace and propane hot water tank. Propane is a clean and efficient alternative to other fuel sources, particularly oil and gasoline. When you live in a remote area, any number of things can cause a utility interruption, including storms, equipment failures, traffic accidents, or even scheduled maintenance. Because so much of our homes require electricity to function, relying on a propane generator can bring peace of mind during emergencies.

When To Use A Propane Generator
Most often, propane generators are only used during emergencies. Much like a tankless water heater, your generator will not turn on until it’s needed, remaining in standby until it detects a power outage. If your generator is your only propane appliance, you may not require regular propane delivery, but our will-call delivery option could be perfect for you. If you suspect you’re getting low, don’t hesitate to reach out! We pride ourselves on being a reliable and dependable propane supplier.
