Winter Wonderland...

Well, the busy season is upon us! I'm sure you can tell since it has been a while since the last post :) We are focused on keeping propane out to our customers to keep their heat going through the odd winter we are having. The snow has melted away (for the second time now) and we are back on schedule after the 3 days of dangerous roads and slow moving. We got a new shipment of Bayou Classic cookers and pots in over the holidays and they are flying out of the office. I own a Bayou cooker myself and LOVE it, the burners really have some power! Come in soon to check these out, we have some really great prices on them...

Going Green + Home Energy Savings

There is a lot of focus on "Going Green" these days, and now there is a way to save some money in the process. Tankless water heaters are an excellent way to not only conserve water, but also save money on your monthly gas bill. These water heaters provide "on demand" hot water. Instead of heating 50 gallons of water, tankless water heaters turn on when the hot water faucet turns on and instantly heats the water flowing through the pipes. While this conserves energy, it also eliminates the worries that your water heater may one day burst or begin leaking and flood your home, and they take up much less space than traditional water heaters. Tankless water heaters come in several varieties and have the ability to run hot water to multiple sources at the same time. So, if you would like to wash a load of dishes, do some laundry, and take a shower, you can do this all simultaneously without worrying about running out of hot water.

Ridge L.P. Gas carries and services a full line of Rinnai tankless water heaters. Stop in today and ask us how you can not only help the environment, but also help your wallet.

Also, be sure to check out this website for information on tax credits for tankless water heaters!
