Propane Heating
Propane furnace installation for rural Canada
No natural gas line? Propane furnaces deliver the same efficiency and comfort as gas — up to 98% AFUE — with no pipeline required. Get matched with propane-certified HVAC contractors.
Same furnace, different gas
Most high-efficiency furnaces ship with a conversion kit or can be ordered propane-ready. Efficiency ratings are identical to natural gas.
Higher fuel cost per BTU
Propane costs more per unit of heat than natural gas. A 96%+ AFUE furnace offsets some of that premium with efficiency.
Safe and proven
Propane is non-toxic and heavier than air, so it sinks and disperses. Certified installers follow CSA B149.2 for propane appliances.
No pipeline needed
Your tank is filled by a local propane supplier. Most rural homeowners lock in annual pricing with a supplier contract.
