Keep comfortable—without breaking the bank!

home efficiency tips arizonaWhile much of the rest of the country thinks northern Arizona is always a hot desert, we know the truth. The average low temperature in Flagstaff in January is 17˚ Fahrenheit!

That means we have to keep the heat on, so our homes stay warm, safe, and comfortable, throughout the winter season just as our friends on the East Coast do!

And how best to do that? Propane, of course! It provides an even, comfortable heat that gets your home warm faster than electricity and is more energy efficient.

Superior Propane Inc. not only provides reliable propane delivery, but we can also help you with finding the best propane heating system for your home.

Fortunately, the solution is easy and doesn’t have to cost a lot of money. In fact, it can involve some simple do-it-yourself projects that you can do on a weekend and still have time to relax. Here are some things you can do:

Programming your thermostat correctly can save you up to 10% on your heating costs. Here’s how to do it:
