Prepare with Propane: Celebrating National Propane Day
Celebrating Reliable, Resilient Energy
Every year on October 7, propane takes center stage as we celebrate National Propane Day — a time to recognize one of America’s most versatile and dependable energy sources.
This year’s official theme from the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) is “Prepare with Propane.” It’s a reminder that propane helps families, farmers, business owners, and entire communities prepare for life’s unpredictable moments — from severe weather to seasonal gatherings and everything in between.
At Tankfarm, we live that theme every day. Our mission is to make propane smarter, fairer, and more transparent — giving customers across New England the tools and confidence to stay prepared.
Propane: America’s Preparedness Fuel
Propane has been powering resilience in America for over a century. In 1910, chemist Dr. Walter Snelling discovered that certain gases in gasoline could be captured and stored as liquid, and propane was born. By the 1920s, it was already heating homes, fueling farms, and helping businesses operate off-grid with dependable energy.
Today, propane remains the go-to energy for millions of U.S. homes and businesses. It’s portable, storable, and clean-burning, providing reliable power no matter what the electric grid is doing. That independence is exactly what makes propane the foundation of preparedness — and why it continues to be trusted in every corner of the country.
Cleaner Energy for a Stronger Tomorrow
Propane isn’t just reliable — it’s also one of the cleanest-burning fuels available. It produces 43% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than electricity generated from the U.S. grid and contains zero methane, the primary component of natural gas.
Looking forward, the industry continues to evolve through renewable propane, made from sustainable materials like used cooking oil and plant-based feedstocks. Renewable propane is chemically identical to traditional propane but even more eco-friendly — paving the way toward a low-carbon future.
Prepare for Severe Weather
PERC’s “Prepare with Propane” campaign highlights one of propane’s greatest strengths: its reliability when the unexpected happens.
When storms take down power lines or winter ice blankets the Northeast, propane steps up. It fuels backup generators, furnaces, and water heaters that keep families safe and warm until the lights come back on.
Unlike electricity, propane is stored safely on your property — so your energy isn’t tied to a fragile grid. It’s a fuel you control, and that makes all the difference when the weather turns dangerous.
How propane helps you prepare for emergencies:
✅ Energy Independence: Stored on-site for instant use — no grid dependency.
✅ Reliable Backup Power: Propane generators activate automatically during outages.
✅ Long-Term Stability: It doesn’t degrade or expire, even in long storage.
✅ Year-Round Versatility: From heating and hot water to cooking and pool heaters, propane powers it all.
At Tankfarm, we take reliability even further. With our Never Run Out Guarantee, you’ll always have propane when you need it. Our free tank monitoring technology tracks your levels in real time and automatically schedules refills — no last-minute calls, no stress, no empty tanks.
Prepare for Comfort, Connection, and Everyday Living
Being prepared isn’t just about surviving storms — it’s also about being ready for life’s best moments. Propane makes that possible, too.
As the holiday season approaches, propane keeps your home warm, your kitchen running, and your gatherings cozy. It fuels high-efficiency ranges, ovens, fireplaces, and outdoor heaters that make hosting easy and enjoyable.
Propane helps homeowners prepare not only for emergencies — but for memories. It’s the energy behind comfort, connection, and the confidence that your home will always be ready for family and friends.
