In towns and cities large and small, from southeastern New Mexico through Texas to the Gulf Coast region, many homes use propane or are converting to propane.

Why? Because of how clean-burning propane is, and its efficiency and versatility! Propane offers many advantages and benefits compared with other energy sources for the diverse needs of people here.

In fact, propane is one of the safest fuel options for your home.

And it’s environmentally friendly—so much so that it was named as an alternative fuel in both the 1990 Clean Air Act and the 1992 Energy Policy Act. You’ll also get outstanding energy efficiency with propane appliances, helping you save on energy costs.
