Propane Council Announces “Entertain With Propane” as National Propane Day Theme

Richmond, VA (Oct. 1, 2024) — The Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) announces the third annual National Propane Day on Oct. 7, 2024 — an opportunity to celebrate propane’s essential role in powering the everyday lives of Americans nationwide.

This year’s National Propane Day theme, “Entertain with Propane,” spotlights propane’s versatile applications, creating safe and comfortable spaces for hosting guests inside and outdoors. The celebration also honors the hardworking individuals in the propane industry who ensure our homes are powered safely and efficiently with clean, affordable energy.

“Propane is more than just an energy source, it’s essential for building healthier homes that support a cleaner environment,” said Bryan Cordill, director of residential business development at PERC. “Whether it’s powering high-performance heating systems, providing clean energy for cooking or ensuring reliable backup power, propane plays a key role in building homes that prioritize comfort, safety and environmental responsibility. We’re proud to be part of a solution that home builders and remodelers can trust.”

Propane’s versatility makes it a top choice for homebuilders focused on building energy-efficient, sustainable homes. It supports high-performance heating systems, tankless water heaters and outdoor living spaces, making it a preferred option for builders seeking to meet energy goals while delivering enhanced home comfort. As energy resiliency and sustainability remain top priorities for builders, PERC encourages contractors to explore propane’s benefits — particularly how it complements renewable energy sources like wind and solar.

“Propane is driving innovation in residential construction, providing builders with an adaptable and sustainable energy solution for building homes and communities,” said Tucker Perkins, president and CEO at PERC. “By providing critical home systems like efficient heating, on-demand hot water, and reliable backup power, propane is a simple solution to meet today’s demand for comfort and safety. As we look ahead, propane will continue to be a key partner for homebuilders committed to quality and supporting a cleaner environment.”

On Oct. 7, communities, businesses and propane advocates across the country will join PERC in celebrating National Propane Day. PERC invites everyone to learn more about propane’s contributions to energy equity, environmental sustainability and efficiency at Propane.com/Residential-Construction.
