Propane: Good for the Environment and Your Home
Mitchell helps shrink your home’s environmental impact
Over the past fifty years, we’ve seen incredible progress in environmental protection.

These achievements are proof of what’s possible when we work together for the environment.
Despite that, the fight isn’t over. Climate change continues to be a growing challenge, with extreme weather events — like severe storms and heat waves — affecting communities nationwide, including right here in the Northeast. But together, we can make a difference.

What makes propane better for the environment?
Propane is classified as an alternative fuel under both the 1990 Clean Air Act and the 1992 National Energy Policy, and it’s a great option for you if you’re looking to make smarter energy choices. Unlike natural gas, which contains methane, propane doesn’t release greenhouse gases.
Electricity generation often relies on burning coal or natural gas, which pumps a lot of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Propane has a much smaller environmental impact than gasoline or other crude oil products. If it ever leaks, it doesn’t cause a mess, damage or pooling, or leave a residue — it simply disperses harmlessly into the air without affecting water, soil, air quality or wildlife.
Cutting down on energy use is one of the easiest ways to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, and propane makes that easy. Propane appliances tend to be more energy-efficient than electric ones, saving you money while being eco-friendly. For instance, a propane tankless water heater can reduce your water heating energy costs by 40% compared to electric models. And did you know that propane clothes dryers use less energy and dry clothes 25% faster than electric ones?
Choosing propane doesn’t just lower your bills and enhance the quality of life in your home. It’s a win for the environment, too! Get all that with propane delivery and service from Mitchell. Become a customer today!
