Today’s homeowners are looking for energy sources that are efficient, adaptable and better for the planet. That’s why Dixon Energy is proud to deliver clean, eco-friendly propane to homes in Randolph and throughout Northern New Jersey. Propane provides dependable comfort while helping you reduce your carbon footprint.
Propane is primarily produced in the United States, supporting our domestic energy economy and reducing dependence on foreign sources. It’s also a powerful, energy-dense fuel — one gallon of propane delivers the same heat output as roughly 27 kilowatt-hours of electricity. On top of that, propane produces more than twice as many Btu per cubic foot as natural gas!
Today’s propane-powered systems are designed for exceptional performance. High-efficiency propane furnaces can reach up to 98.5% efficiency, while a new, properly-sized propane water heater can generate hot water twice as efficiently as a comparable electric model. That means lower energy costs, fewer emissions and reliable comfort all year long.
Propane appliances bring efficiency and comfort to every part of your home. Propane stoves deliver precise, chef-quality cooking, while propane dryers offer faster cycles, fewer wrinkles and less static cling than electric units. Standby generators powered by propane automatically power your home during grid outages, with fuel that never goes stale in the tank. You can also elevate your outdoor living with propane gas logs, firepits, patio heaters, pool heaters and grills.
To understand propane’s environmental impact, it helps to know where it comes from. Most propane used in the U.S. is a byproduct of natural gas processing, with a smaller amount derived from crude oil refining. This means producing propane doesn’t require additional drilling. It’s captured and refined from existing energy streams that would otherwise go to waste.
Propane is not considered a greenhouse gas. It’s officially recognized as an alternative fuel under the 1990 Clean Air Act and the Energy Policy Act of 1992. With a low carbon intensity (CI) score, propane emits less carbon dioxide than diesel, gasoline and even grid electricity in New Jersey.
Because propane contains no methane — a greenhouse gas far more potent than CO₂ — and produces virtually no particulate matter, it’s a smart choice for homeowners who care about air quality and environmental safety. Even in the event of a leak, propane won’t contaminate soil or groundwater.
Renewable propane is identical in performance to conventional propane but is made from sustainable feedstocks like used cooking oil, animal fats, and plant materials. Its carbon intensity can be up to 75% lower than conventional propane, and production capacity is growing every year.
As renewable propane becomes more widely available, Dixon Energy is ready to bring this next generation of clean fuel to New Jersey homes.
