As the back-to-school season arrives, it’s not just the kids who are getting ready for new routines. Homeowners are also preparing for cooler weather, busier schedules, and—unfortunately—higher energy usage. Between early morning showers, after-school laundry loads, and family dinners that need to be on the table fast, your home’s energy demands climb in September.
That’s why now is the perfect time to think about switching to propane—or making sure your propane supply is ready for the months ahead. Propane is one of the most versatile, efficient, and budget-friendly energy sources for residential homes, and with Tankfarm, you can make the transition smooth, affordable, and stress-free.
Why Propane is Perfect for the Back-to-School Season
1. Reliable Heat for Cool Mornings
If you live in New England, you know that September mornings can feel more like November. Propane-powered heating systems deliver warm air quickly, so you don’t have to wait for the chill to fade. This is especially important when everyone is rushing to get ready before the school bus arrives. No more shivering in the kitchen while waiting for the coffee to brew—propane makes sure your home is comfortable when you need it most.
2. Hot Water On-Demand
School mornings often mean multiple showers, laundry cycles, and dishwasher loads all happening within a few hours. With a propane water heater, you’ll get a faster recovery rate compared to electric models. In fact, propane water heaters heat water about twice as fast as electric models and can reduce energy costs by up to 30% annually. That means less waiting between showers and more efficiency for busy mornings.
If you opt for a tankless propane water heater, the benefits are even greater—you’ll get endless hot water on demand, so everyone can get ready without running out. Plus, tankless units can last up to 20 years with proper maintenance, making them a smart long-term investment for families.
3. Quick & Efficient Cooking
Weeknight dinners during the school year are all about speed and simplicity. Propane stoves heat instantly and provide precise temperature control, making it easier to whip up pasta, tacos, or stir-fry in a hurry. According to the Propane Education & Research Council, propane cooktops can cut preheating time nearly in half compared to electric ranges and offer instant flame adjustment—critical for everything from boiling water quickly to simmering sauces without burning.
If you’re a weekend meal-prepper, propane ovens distribute heat more evenly than electric ovens, helping baked goods rise better and meats cook more consistently. It’s the same reason why so many professional chefs prefer cooking with gas.
4. Extended Outdoor Enjoyment
Just because summer is over doesn’t mean you have to pack away the patio furniture. Propane-fueled fire pits, patio heaters, and outdoor kitchens make it easy to enjoy crisp autumn evenings. Host a backyard s’mores night, watch the big game outside, or simply sip cider under the stars without worrying about the cold.

- Schedule a Tune-Up – A well-maintained system runs more efficiently, saving you money on fuel.
- Use a Programmable Thermostat – Lower the temperature during school and work hours to reduce energy usage.
