Propane offers versatility wherever you use it. Just as there are a variety of ways to use propane in and around your home, there are a variety of commercial uses for propane as well.
Here are some of the ways bulk propane is used in commercial and business settings:
- Farmers can use propane to heat barns, greenhouses, crop dryers, and poultry houses.
- Hotels, laundromats, and commercial laundries cam use propane gas dryers for fast and efficient clothes drying.
- Facilities with a commercial kitchen can rely on propane for their high-powered cooktops, ovens, water heaters, and grills. Cooking with propane offers precise temperature control. Propane water heaters offer efficient and reliable water heating and the ability to clean large quantities of dishes on a budget.
- Hospitality venues with outdoor space can use propane for space heaters and firepits that will keep their customers comfortable outside for more days of the year.
- Construction companies use propane for their scissor lifts, welding equipment, and generators. They can also use propane to provide cost-effective heating on construction sites.
- Businesses of all types depend on propane generators to keep their buildings and occupants safe, keep the lights on, run HVAC equipment, and protect food, perishables, and technology. For example, in a facility that provides essential services like a nursing home or hospital, a propane generator can run life-saving medical equipment. Propane generators can also keep a business’s HVAC system up and running and thereby protecting computers and servers from extreme and potentially damaging temperatures. A propane generator can also keep security systems and refrigeration units up and running.
- Factories and warehouses can use propane for forklifts that can be used inside as well as outside because of their low emissions.
- Businesses that do heat-shrinking benefit from propane heat guns which let their employees work quickly and safely.
So whatever business you’re in, you can benefit from the use of commercial propane. There’s so much propane can do.
