Clean Burning Propane Is The Right Choice Today And Tomorrow

WFI encourages all customers to use propane safely. You should read and follow all use, care, and manufacturer instructions before using propane appliances/equipment. We highly recommend frequent inspections and proper ventilation.

Propane is heavier than air. If a leak in a propane fuel system occurs, the gas will have a tendency to sink into any enclosed area and thus poses a risk of explosion and fire. The typical scenario is a leaking cylinder stored in a basement; the propane leak drifts across the floor to the pilot light on the furnace or water heater, and results in an explosion or fire.

Facts you may not know about propane:

• Propane is truly a clean burning green alternative to fossil fuels and has the smallest greenhouse gas footprint of any fuel, including many natural gas applications.
• 90% of the propane consumed in the U.S. is produced in the U.S.
• Energy Star-qualified propane furnaces are 15% more efficient than standard electric models
• Tankless propane water heaters are expected to save up to $1800 over their lifetime versus an electric-powered storage water heater
