Terry Garnett’s Propane delivers only pure HD5 propane. It’s the highest quality and is the only propane you should be using for your home of business.
In our busy day-to-day lifestyles we don’t often have the time nor the inclination to learn more about the propane being delivered to our homes. That’s all the more reason why we need to work with somebody we can trust.
It is key that if we choose an established propane provider who sets exacting standards, has a defined distribution channel that always is reliable, and places the value on quality for their customers we are then in the best position as consumers.
Simply put, HD5 propane is the purest form of propane and the optimum chemical composition for the propane that you want for your home energy needs.
Propane is a substance occurring in nature with a chemical formula of “C3H8.” The term has also come to refer to several different substances that may contain chemical propane, C3H8, in varying amounts. Unlike gasoline or heating oil, which is the same from coast to coast, “propane” varies widely in quality and “commercial grade propane” can have as little as 0% propane, because all that is required of it is that it can hold a flame.
In this segment we will examine what exactly is HD5 propane and why, as a homeowner, it’s very important you understand.
There are in fact four (4) main grades of propane: HD5 propane, “commercial grade propane,” HD10 propane, and Y-grade field condensate. HD5 propane and “commercial grade” propane are defined by the American Society for Testing and Materials by its Standard 1835. This standard defines HD5 propane by its chemical formula: it must consist of no less than 90% propane molecules, no more than 5% propylene and no more than 5% butanes and ethane. This standard defines “commercial grade” by its functionality: any mixture of gases that holds a flame may be called “commercial grade” propane.
At Terry Garnett’s Propane, we believe that an informed public is better qualified to choose the propane provider that best fits their needs. While it’s true that some companies might not even talk about HD5 propane, we feel it’s very important for you to understand that not all propane is the same.
Pure HD5 propane not only burns more efficiently in your appliances and provides better value for your dollar, it also ensures that you are meeting the exacting standards established by your propane appliance manufacturers.
For over 30 years. Garnett’s propane has only been delivering pure HD5 propane. Since the company started with the primary mission of providing propane to friends and neighbors, delivering only the highest quality propane has been the building block of the company.
