AmeriGas - America's Propane Company

Propane fuels a variety of systems and products. It offers homeowners reliability, cleanliness, improved performance and, on average, costs half as much per BTU as electricity. Propane fuels home heating systems for approximately 8.1 million households, and is also used inside and outside the home for versatile applications including home and water heating, cooking, clothes drying, pool/sauna heating, fireplaces, grilling and more.*

AmeriGas propane is the safe, preferred and cost-effective energy source for the following appliances:

Clothes Dryer
A clothes dryer fueled by AmeriGas propane can save you time and money. These dryers quickly reach desired temperatures to dry clothes evenly. The moist heat they produce is also not as likely to burn or discolor fabrics as electric dryers. The net result is less wear and tear on fabrics, which saves money.

The cost of drying a typical load of laundry in an electric dryer is 30 to 40 cents compared to 15 to 20 cents in a gas dryer
Most gas dryers use only 110 electric current to run the drum to circulate the clothes, rather than the 220 electric current that electric clothes dryers use
