Propane gas. The best alternative

The gas price fluctuates weekly and is determined by tank size and the number of gallons purchased annually. Contact us for your personalized offer.

First, close the gas outlet valve on the tank. Shut off the gas supply inside the building. Extinguish all open flames. - Do not turn on any electrical appliances (be aware of appliances that may turn on and off automatically) - Open all doors and windows and ensure adequate ventilation at ground level (propane is heavier than air). Call OK GAS and/or your installer.

Natural gas is generally cheaper than propane gas. The price of natural gas is often lower due to its greater availability and lower transportation and storage costs. However, in some situations, propane gas can be an economical alternative, especially in locations where natural gas is not available.

First of all, propane gas is highly flammable and can form an explosive mixture when it comes into contact with oxygen. That is why propane gas is stored in propane tanks at a safe distance from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames, and other ignition sources.

Is propane toxic?

Although propane is not toxic by itself, high concentrations can be intoxicating or suffocating by displacing available oxygen. Direct contact with liquid propane can also cause frostbite.

Chance of propane leaks

Still, the chances of a propane tank leaking are minimal. The tank, gaskets and fuses should be inspected and/or replaced periodically. If a leak does somehow occur and the propane ignites, it can lead to a lake fire or, if not directly ignited, an explosive gas cloud. As a propane supplier, we ensure that our tanks and systems are properly maintained and inspected to minimize the risks.

Yes, you can cook on propane gas. Propane gas is often used for cooking appliances, both in households and in the hospitality industry. It provides consistent heat and is suitable for a variety of cooking applications.

Propane gas is naturally odorless, but an odorant, usually ethane thiol, is added to make leaks easier to detect. This odorant gives propane gas a recognizable, unpleasant odor similar to that of rotten eggs or sulfur.

Yes, a central heating boiler can operate on propane gas, but it may be necessary to modify or replace the boiler with a model specifically designed for propane gas. This can be done by a licensed installer. When installing a gas tank, OK GAS can advise a licensed party.

The duration of 10 kg of propane gas depends on the consumption of the equipment you use. As a rule of thumb, you can assume that 1 kg of propane gas provides about 14.6 kWh of energy. To calculate how long you will do with 10 kg of propane gas, divide the total energy content (10 kg x 14.6 kWh/kg = 146 kWh) by the energy consumption of your equipment (in kWh). For example, if you have a stove that consumes 1.5 kWh, you could cook for about 97 hours with 10 kg of propane gas (146 kWh / 1.5 kWh).

Generally, 1 liter of liquid propane is equivalent to 0.76 m³ of natural gas; in other words, 1 m³ of natural gas is equivalent to 1.32 liters of liquid propane.

Normally, 1 kilogram of liquid propane contains approximately 2 liters of liquid propane. That is equivalent to 1.52 cubic meters of natural gas.

When propane gas is measured by means of a calibrated gas meter, one measures the vapor that passes the meter. To make 1 M3 of vapor, taking into account varying temperatures, requires a little more than 4 liters of liquid propane gas.

The price of propane gas is made up of production costs, taxes, government fees, transportation costs and a number of other factors.
