5 Reasons to Switch to Propane This Fall

Fall in New England has a way of sneaking up on us. One minute you’re enjoying backyard barbecues, and the next, you’re reaching for your jacket in the morning. As the days get shorter and the nights turn colder, now is the perfect time to make sure your home’s heating system is ready for what’s ahead.

If you’re still relying on heating oil or electric heat, this could be the season to make a smart switch — to propane. More homeowners across New England are turning to propane for its reliability, affordability, and efficiency. It’s the clean energy choice that keeps your home warm, your costs predictable, and your family comfortable no matter how cold it gets outside.

Here are five reasons why fall is the best time to switch to propane with Tankfarm.

1. Propane Saves You Money When It Matters Most

With energy costs rising nationwide, homeowners are feeling the pinch — especially during the winter months. The good news? Propane continues to be one of the most cost-effective ways to heat your home.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), propane prices have remained stable year-over-year, while the cost of electricity and heating oil continues to climb. Because propane burns hotter and more efficiently than oil, it delivers more warmth per dollar. That means fewer refills, lower energy bills, and real savings all winter long.

At Tankfarm, we believe in fair, transparent pricing. You’ll always know what you’re paying for — no hidden delivery fees, no surprise surcharges, and no gimmicks. Just reliable heat and honest pricing you can count on.

2. Propane Keeps Your Home Running — Even When the Power’s Out

If you live in New England, you know how unpredictable the weather can be. Fall and winter storms can cause power outages that leave homes cold and dark for hours or even days.

Propane keeps you protected. A propane-powered generator automatically kicks on when the power goes out, keeping your furnace, refrigerator, and other critical appliances running. Beyond heating, propane can also fuel your water heater, fireplace, kitchen range, and clothes dryer — so you stay comfortable even when the grid goes down.

Pair that peace of mind with a Tankfarm Smart Monitor, and you’ll always know your tank level right from your phone. It’s convenience and control that you won’t get with traditional fuel deliveries.

3. It’s Cleaner, Greener, and Better for the Planet

If you’re looking for a cleaner way to heat your home, propane is a simple and sustainable step in the right direction. It’s one of the cleanest-burning fuels available today — producing significantly fewer greenhouse gas emissions than heating oil, diesel, or coal-generated electricity.

Switching to propane can reduce your home’s carbon footprint by up to 40%, all while improving efficiency. And because propane doesn’t contaminate soil or groundwater, it’s a safe choice for your property and the environment.

4. Propane Adds Comfort, Convenience, and Value to Your Home

Propane isn’t just a fuel — it’s an upgrade for your entire home. With propane, you can power high-efficiency furnaces, tankless water heaters, cooking ranges, fireplaces, and even outdoor features like fire pits and patio heaters.

Homebuyers recognize propane as a premium, high-performance energy source that offers independence from the electric grid and lower long-term maintenance costs. That means switching to propane can actually increase your home’s resale value while making everyday life more comfortable.

If you’re planning home improvements this season — from upgrading your heating system to adding a backup generator — there’s no better time to make the switch. Tankfarm can help you design the perfect system for your home and budget.

Whether you’re building a new home, upgrading an old furnace, or looking for a more efficient heating option, propane delivers the comfort, efficiency, and savings that every homeowner wants — without the stress of winter maintenance or costly oil deliveries.
