As the temperature continues to drop in San Diego County, more and more people are looking for ways to spend time outdoors while still staying warm.  Propane tanks are an alternative source for heat that can be convenient and easy to transport.

If you are considering investing in a propane tank or renting one, it's important to know a few things before you do so. 

1. It’s wise to know the difference in the way electricity and propane is measured.  For example, electricity is measured in kilowatt-hours while propane is measured in gallons.  Generally, energy prices are on the rise.  Natural gas is considered more efficient and less expensive.  Check out this article to take all of the factors into consideration.
2. Propane is considered to be very environmentally friendly.  It is also very reliable.  You don’t need to worry about propane going out when there is a bad storm.  It’s also more popular than ever with about three fourths of Americans owning a gas grill or smokers.
3.  It’s important to know that propane gas is heavier than air.  This means that if there is a propane leak, you should be mindful if it is indoor considering it could be damaging inside a home.  Please consider factors cited here for further information.
