Comparing energy costs has always been somewhat confusing. It's difficult to compare an electricity kilowatt hour to a propane or fuel oil gallon to a natural gas cubic foot. The solution is putting these energies on common terms. One good term is the BTU. We use BTU's to measure heat. So if we can figure how much it costs to produce a certain amount of heat, we have a good basis for comparison. Let's say we want to determine how much it costs to produce 100,000 BTU using 4* per kwh electricity, 75* heating oil, and 50* propane. Taking into account the efficiencies of these ener­ gies at the appliance, the costs compute as fol­ lows: Cost per 100,000 BTU Electricity (4Vkwh) Fuel Oil (75Vgal.) $1.17 -v 77» Propane (50*/gal.) ^ ^ In this case propane comes out as the best energy value. But your energy costs might be different than our example. If so, stop in for a free brochure entitled "Energy Buyers Guide". It con­ tains the formula, and you can enter your own figures. There are other reasons to consider propane as the fuel for home heating, water heating, cook­ ing, and clothes drying. Availability is probably the most important. Since we extract most of our propane from natural gas, and since natural gas is in excellent supply, we have an ample amount of fuel for your needs. We're planning for the future, too. Taking steps now to prevent shortages later. Almost as important is our emphasis on serv­ ice. We'll keep you warm through the coldest winter and stand by our products after the sale. You see, we mean it when we say: ASK ABOUT OUR LOW One Low Payment Allows You to |\ Use Our J|\ Tank For jy as Long as j/j] You're Our Customer Means Product Availability 6 Important Reasons to Propane is better, Propane heats over two homes with the same original energy it takes to heat one home electrically. Propane » dries over three loads of clothes to one. Cooks two meals to one. Heats nearly 2Vz gallons of water to one. 1. We know gas appliances. 2. Top quality name brand merchandise 3. Installation available 4. Service after the sale 5. QUALIFIED Service Technicians 6. Complete financing available and Visa & Mastercharge efficient energy. And the "hew gas appliances conserve so much energy, you can save enough to do all these jobs for up to two extra months each year. So, don't waste energy! Don't waste money! Use . . . Better energy. A better future.
