It is fun to be the house where everyone gathers.
Once your children are in high school, it is especially nice to be the house where the kids end up on summer nights and weekends during the school year. Instead of worrying and wondering where their own children are, many parents prefer that their high school and college age children are at their house instead of someone else’s. Achieving this goal is not too difficult as long as you are willing to do two things. Number one, have lots of food. Number two, have lots of food!
It should come as no surprise that the way to guarantee that your son or daughter and friends hang out at your house is to have plenty of tasty snacks. As the school year approaches again and there is some hope that the temperatures will be a little more comfortable, parents can find a way to have the crowd at their house, but keep most of the mess outside by installing a propane fire bit. Hot dog roasts, s’more cookouts, and just comfy nights by the fire are a fun way to encourage your children’s friends to make their way to your house at the end of the night.
Propane Gas Products Serve a Variety of Purposes in the Home In a time when homeowners are looking for ways to both save money and make environmentally friendly energy decisions, propane gas products are becoming increasingly popular. Propane is a versatile source of energy source used by as many as 9 million families. Propane services are used in and around homes for furnaces, water heaters, and cooktops, and other appliances, as well as outdoor grills, fireplaces, and power generators. As a fuel, propane delivers a clean, affordable, efficient, and reliable energy solution. Consider some of the ways that families in America use propane in and around their homes:
Fire pits and gas grills. Extending the living space to outside is a popular option for many families. Especially in locations where the weather stays fairly mild most of the year, an evening meal outside is an invitation for families to sit back, relax, and slow down for awhile. And just as no cook wants to be stuck in the kitchen preparing food while the family and guests are enjoying themselves, no backyard grill master wants to be stuck alone on a deck watching the burgers while everyone else is sitting inside. As a result, propane gas products like grills and fire pits have become the anchor of many outdoor eating spaces. No longer a cheap rolling grill, propane tanks can be mounted beneath grills and cooktops that rival some peoples kitchens. Keeping food warm until serving is no longer a grilling problem when the grill is the centerpiece of the dining area. Likewise, propane customers can center a fire pit in a comfortable backyard feature that encourages hours of conversation and fun.
Main heating sources.
For years, many families have realized the benefits and affordability of heating their homes with propane gas products. Water heating with propane, for example, allows families to be in charge of the prices they pay for the fuel that they need. In fact, as many as 8.1 million American households use propane. Of these, 4.6% use propane as their main heating source. Knowing that they are using product that is mostly produced in America is a comforting fact in a time when the worldwide energy sources become less predictable and more volatile.
Workshop spaces. Some homeowners have the luxury of working from home. Machine shops and repair shops that are located on a homeowners property are often heated with propane. In fact, propane supplies the energy to as many as 350,000 industrial sites, some of which are small one owner shops located at home. These propane users rely on it for space cutting, heating, brazing, soldering, heat treating, vulcanizing, as well as many other uses.
Whether you are trying to create an inviting space that will attract your high schooler’s friends to come hang out after the football game, or you are looking for an affordable way to heat and cool your home, propane is an affordable, clean, and efficient answer.
