At Collett Propane, we’re proud to offer cleaner, smarter energy solutions for the families and communities we serve. As lawn care season approaches, many homeowners are looking for efficient, eco-friendly alternatives to gas-powered equipment—and propane is quickly becoming a top choice.
From cleaner air to lower fuel costs, propane-powered lawn equipment delivers a wide range of benefits that make it a smart investment for both your yard and your wallet.
Cleaner Emissions and a Healthier Environment
Propane is a certified clean fuel under the Clean Air Act and is known for producing significantly fewer harmful emissions than gasoline. According to data from the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC), propane-powered mowers can reduce:
- Nitrogen oxides by 19%
- Greenhouse gas emissions by up to 17%
- Sulfur oxides by 16%
That means cleaner air for you, your family, your neighbors, and your community—especially important for those living in suburban or semi-rural neighborhoods where air quality matters. Propane is also non-toxic and non-pooling, which means in the rare event of a spill or leak, it won’t contaminate soil or groundwater.
Cost Savings with Every Tank
Propane isn’t just better for the environment—it’s also better for your budget. Propane is typically less expensive than gasoline, and it burns more efficiently, offering longer run times per tank. That translates to fewer stops to refuel and less money spent over time.
For homeowners who maintain larger yards or use riding mowers and other gas-powered tools, those savings can add up across a mowing season.
Lower Maintenance and Extended Equipment Life
Because propane is a clean-burning fuel, it produces less carbon buildup in engines. This cleaner combustion results in:
- Less frequent oil changes
- Fewer spark plug replacements
- Fewer air filter changes
- Overall reduced wear and tear
This means your equipment runs smoother and lasts longer, which reduces downtime and repair costs. Over the lifetime of your mower or trimmer, switching to propane can lead to significant long-term savings.
Easy Storage and Ready When You Are
Unlike gasoline, propane doesn’t degrade over time. You won’t need to worry about stale fuel gumming up your equipment after sitting idle for a season. It’s also easier to store—propane cylinders are safe, sealed, and stable, reducing the risk of spills, fumes, or evaporation.
And because Collett Propane is local, you can always refill or exchange your propane cylinders right here in your community, with a team you can trust.
Supporting American-Made Energy
Did you know that nearly 90% of the propane used in the United States is produced domestically? By using propane, you’re not only choosing an efficient energy source—you’re also supporting American jobs and reducing dependence on foreign oil.
As a family-owned and operated company for over a century, we at Collett take pride in contributing to the strength of our local and national economy. Choosing propane is one more way we can all work together for a sustainable future.
