As we all know, global warming and greenhouse emissions are on the top of the list among today’s major issues. With the deterioration of Arctic ice caps and the frenzy for more crude oil, we need to start looking at alternative fuels. One of the top alternative fuels is propane, a byproduct of natural gas processing and crude oil refining.
According to the Propane Education & Research Council, “propane provides great value because it burns hotter and more efficiently than many other energy sources”. Statistics show that:
- A propane furnace can heat air up to 25 degrees warmer
- Propane gives off less than half of the greenhouse emissions compared to electricity
- Propane appliances have a shorter energy savings payback period

So the question is, why not use propane? Many household appliances already use propane including clothes dryers, fireplaces, furnaces, grills, generators, pool heaters, space heaters, and more.
But one of the downfalls of using propane is the fact that most of the time, you don’t really know how much gas is left in the tank. We’re left running to the store in the middle of grilling or amid a romantic evening in front of the fireplace because the propane has run out. This is where our company comes in.
We manufacture and sell GasWatch a propane tank gas meter that allows you to know how much gas is left in the tank. The gauge is hooked up to the tank and works with any propane appliance user.
Additionally, it creates a safer grilling environment by detecting leaks and automatically stopping gas flow in an event of a major leak. With the downturn of our economy, we need to look at ways to save money and GasWatch can do just that by providing 100% utilization of product in the tank.
GasWatch is a clever little device that we can easily use for ourselves, or we can gift it to family and friends for holidays or special occasions.
GasWatch can be found within 10 miles of every household in major retailers including Lowe’s, Home Depot, BJ’s, Ace Hardware, True Value, Sam’s Club, Sears, Wal-Mart, and more. Visit our website for more information:
