In America today, more than 48 million households regularly use propane to some degree or another. That’s almost 40% of the country! Whether you just use propane for your grill, or you use it to heat your whole house, you’ve probably come to recognize many of the advantages of this convenient, clean-burning, efficient fuel. But […]
Whether you have just a couple of tractors or a huge fleet of delivery trucks, buses, shuttles, or any other commercial vehicle, you know how quickly things can start to add up. Fuel costs. Maintenance. Licensing. It’s a big responsibility. And it can get expensive. Well, what if we told you that you could transform […]
Last month, we blogged about how propane can power your adventure and give you flexibility, mobility, and freedom from “the grid.” That got us thinking about all the awesome adventures you can go on this fall, all without leaving the great state of Michigan! In fact, it’s pretty much impossible to narrow it down to […]
Of all the many virtues of propane, one of the best is mobility. Think of it. With most other sources of heat and energy, you have to be connected to “the grid.” The hookups, for the most part, are fixed. Appliances need to be near an existing gas line or outlet. And if the neighborhood […]
Now that winter is finally, definitively over in Michigan, homeowners everywhere have at long last hung up the shovels, shoved the snow blowers to back of the garage, and retrieved the lawnmowers from deep storage.

Clean, reliable, and efficient American propane provides the power to plant, water, harvest, dry, store, and transport our national food supply. Michigan leads the nation in production of crops like asparagus, cucumbers, and cherries, just to name a few. […]
No region of the United States relies on propane to deliver residential heating and energy than the Midwest, with Michigan leading the way—a greater percentage of homes use it here than any other state! The advantages of propane can’t be denied, especially in cold-winter locales—it’s safe, environmentally friendly, heats quickly, and beats natural gas and […]
Cold winters. Skyrocketing housing costs. Poor insulation. Aging furnaces, water heaters, and pipes. In Michigan—just like in many other places around the country—it’s never been more important to ensure affordable, accessible, and energy-efficient housing and utilities for people of all walks of life. That’s one reason why the Michigan Propane Gas Association supports multiple billing […]
