history (past 12 months): Fuel choice
“Gas is the fuel of choice for builders across the country, with 67 percent of all homes built during the past 12 months featuring gas. With natural gas used in most urban areas, propane extends the benefits of gas appliances beyond the natural gas main. More than 90 percent of builders surveyed cited reliability, customer preference, and initial costs as the top factors in choosing home heating systems.”(Source: NAHB Research Center)
Confirming the need for gas is a survey conducted about outdoor rooms.
Homeowners have also stated that security of supply is an important issue when considering energy decisions. About 90% of all propane is produced in the US, making it a highly reliable fuel that is always available (Source: PERC).
Gas appliances offer builders the opportunity to offer profitable appliance upgrades such as gas fireplaces and outdoor kitchens. In fact fireplaces rank among the top three features desired by new home buyers, according to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).
