The Benefits of a ThompsonGas Propane Program

A Partner you can trust. ThompsonGas has been working with builders for over 65 years.

Builder-friendly. With propane, you’re not at the mercy of a public utility. And with the option of aboveground or underground storage tanks, ThompsonGas provides propane for all of your builder needspropane professionals can install and connect home appliances and other applications on your schedule. Propane also provides job-site flexibility by providing gas energy for portable generators and temporary construction heaters.

Installed by ThompsonGas pros with top-quality training. The propane industry’s Certified Employee Training Program (CETP) ensures that propane installation and service personnel are well qualified to handle even the most challenging tasks.

Clean energy. Propane gives off less than half of the greenhouse gas emissions that electricity does, considering that most of the nation’s electric power is fueled by coal-fired power plants. In fact, by using propane, you can earn points under green building programs, such as the National Green Building Standard™ and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) for Homes.

Reduces energy costs. Propane appliances are typically far more efficient than their electric counterparts. For example, an Energy Star–qualified propane tankless water heater can save your customers up to 50 percent on their energy bills, when compared with the costs of operating a standard electric tank-style heater.
