Unlocking the Power of Propane in Your Home

Why Newfoundland homeowners choose propane

There’s a lot to recommend propane for your home. For a start, this fuel goes wherever you need it. Propane is held in an on-site tank and delivered by a trusted local company — like Harvey’s!

Propane is also a true domestic fuel. Canada produces so much of it that roughly 50 per cent is exported. It’s a green energy source, emitting very little carbon dioxide and virtually no particulate matter. It also contains no methane. Propane is recognized as a low-emissions energy source by Canada’s Alternative Fuels Act.

Finally, propane-powered equipment has some incredible efficiency levels. Here are three of the most popular gas-powered home comfort systems our team installs.

High Efficiency Warm Air Furnaces from Carrier

Propane offers exceptionally high heating capacity. It outpaces natural gas and electricity by a considerable margin.

Carrier is one of the most trusted names in heating and cooling equipment. Their propane-powered warm air furnaces boast fuel efficiency ratings as high as 97 per cent. That means virtually all the heat energy generated from your propane goes to its intended purpose — keeping you and your loved ones warm. These furnaces also feature variable-speed blowers, which deliver precise airflow and quiet performance. Their two-stage designs will lower your energy use without compromising your comfort.

Combi-Boilers from Navien

These modern marvels use propane’s superior heating capacity to simultaneously generate endless hot water on demand and heat your home too!

One compact combi-boiler unit offers all the functions of a hot water furnace and a tankless water heater. These systems are wall-mounted and sleekly designed. We can size them to virtually any home size or hot water need. And they come with the industry’s strongest warranty.

Navien Tankless Water Heaters

When you invest in a propane-powered tankless water heater, you reap some fantastic benefits. These systems generate unlimited hot water (yes, even when your shower is running at the same time as your dishwasher) while using up to 34% less energy than a storage tank unit.

A tankless water heater heats water on demand instead of storing it in a tank, delivering hot water only when you need it. These compact systems typically offer longer service lifespans than traditional storage tank units. Navien produces a range of tankless water heaters, including both condensing and non-condensing models to suit different needs.

Efficient Tank Water Heaters from Bradford White

You can still get plentiful hot water and lower energy costs with a traditional storage tank water heater. A propane-powered Bradford White water heater offers efficient, dependable hot water and remarkable durability. These systems have modern temperature controls, advanced tank protection and energy-saving features to help maximize comfort while supporting lower energy use.

Harvey’s offers both Bradford White storage tank units and Navien tankless units for purchase or lease.
