How to Maximize Home Comfort with Propane

How to Maximize Home Comfort with Propane

Comfort means different things to different homeowners. For some, it’s endless hot water. For others, it’s gathering around a warm fireplace on a cold evening.

The good news is that propane can help deliver both. Many people are surprised to learn just how versatile this clean and reliable fuel can be. By adding the right gas-powered appliances, homeowners can improve everyday comfort while getting more value from their LP gas service.

Understanding Propane Minimum Use Fees

Some homeowners throughout Virginia and North Carolina love the comfort of LP gas, but don’t consume enough fuel each year to meet Hall’s minimum annual usage requirement. Customers must use at least 150% of their tank’s usable fuel capacity annually to avoid a minimum-use fee. This is one reason many homeowners choose to add LP gas appliances like tankless water heaters, which increase propane usage while improving comfort. Our minimum-use fee is not the same as a tank lease. Tank leases are paid every year regardless of fuel usage. Hall customers pay no fee if they use the minimum fuel amount per year.

This fee isn’t a penalty. It’s simply how Hall covers the expense, maintenance, property tax and insurance on propane tanks used at customers’ property. Tanks and other propane-related equipment are much more expensive than most customers realize, costing $1,000 – $5,000 per site depending on tank size.

Minimum use fees can be avoided by:

  • Purchasing your own tank
  • Downsizing your tank
  • Expanding your propane usage with an additional propane appliance

The Best Upgrades to Help Avoid Minimum Use Fees

While there are several ways to avoid minimum-use fees, many homeowners choose to add propane appliances that increase annual fuel usage while also improving comfort and convenience. Some of the most popular options are tankless water heaters, heaters and log sets.

Tankless Water Heaters Provide Daily Comfort

Adding a propane tankless water heater is one of the most effective ways to increase annual gas usage while enhancing everyday comfort.

Because hot water is something your family uses every day, a tankless water heater can help you move closer to Hall’s annual usage requirements while providing reliable hot water, greater energy efficiency and a longer system lifespan.

Propane Log Sets Add Seasonal Comfort & Ambiance

A propane log set provides the beauty and warmth of a fire without the hassle of chopping wood, cleaning ash or maintaining a wood-burning fireplace. While many homeowners choose a tankless water heater as their primary solution for increasing annual LP gas usage, a gas log set can provide additional fuel consumption while creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the colder months.
