Propane offers advantages no other fuel can match, because with propane, you're never limited by your proximity to the grid. You can build in higher performance and greater efficiency anywhere you choose to build or do business.
Build Anywhere
With propane, you can build anywhere, independent of the grid. Propane appliances also give you design flexibility when creating your plans.
Deluxe Appliances
High-end, high-efficiency propane-powered commercial appliances are available for nearly every application, from building heat to outdoor amenities.
Go Green
Use propane appliances to lower your carbon footprint, and to help your building meet green building standards, such as Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) certification.

Because propane is stored on site, your building is better equipped to withstand natural disasters from day one.
Propane Products for Commercial Buildings & Construction
Furnaces & Boilers
Commercial gas furnaces provide heated air at a significantly warmer temperature than most electric options, to provide steady and reliable comfort. Commercial boilers can serve both space heating and hot water applications with capacities up to 8,660,000 British thermal units.
Water Heating
For commercial applications, propane can heat water quickly, and with incredible efficiency. Tankless water heaters deliver endless hot water, on-demand, and are available in rack systems that offer redundancy and higher flow rates.

Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems provide heat and generate electricity with higher efficiency and lower emissions levels than conventional heating and grid-supplied power.
Storage & Distribution
Propane gives you independence from the grid, because it’s stored onsite. You can also choose above or below ground tank installation.
