AmeriGas propane is quickly becoming the homebuyer's fuel of choice. Here are a few reasons why consumers turn to AmeriGas:

Affordability - On average, propane costs about half as much per Btu as electricity; it burns hotter and more evenly than many other fuels; and propane appliances have a shorter energy savings payback period - the time it takes for an appliance to pay for itself via energy savings.
Safety - AmeriGas adheres to stringent safety codes developed by the propane industry and the National Fire Protection Association for every aspect of our installation, storage and tank filling.
Availability - More than 97% of all propane used in the United States is produced in North America. Like natural gas, propane supply is protected to keep pace with demand far into the future. AmeriGas stores propane in plants nationwide so that the fuel is readily available to our customers.
Environmental Safety - Propane is an extremely clean fuel. Since it emits less carbon dioxide per Btu than gasoline, heating oil, coal, kerosene, jet fuel and diesel fuel when burned, propane also is an excellent fuel for reducing emissions of greenhouse gases.
