When it comes to choosing a water heater, everyone wants a system that they can trust to provide hot water when they need it most. For most homeowners, this means investing in a large water tank. In recent years, however, tankless water heaters have emerged as a smart alternative to conventional water heater systems.
In this video, you will learn the facts behind some common water heater myths. For example, many homeowners are under the impression that only tanked water heaters are able to store and provide large amounts of hot water. This is not true, as tankless water heaters are more than capable of meeting your hot water needs. Another myth associated with tankless water heaters is that they provide instantaneous hot water. While this is true to some extent when it comes to point-of-use heaters, whole-home water heaters have to deliver water to all parts of the home, causing a small delay. Tankless water heaters are more than capable of supplying water throughout your home, although it is important to make sure you choose a heater of the appropriate size. Do tankless water heaters save homeowners money? Find out by watching this clip.

Not only is propane gas one of the most inexpensive and efficient home heating fuels available, but it’s also refined right here in the United States. Just like other home fuels, propane is expended on a daily basis and must be refilled, sometimes sooner than you anticipated. Fortunately, there are many ways in which you can make your propane supply last a bit longer. Here are a few quick tips:
- Get a programmable thermostat:
If you forget to turn down your manual thermostat when you go to work in the morning, you will heat an empty house for eight extra hours. A programmable thermostat, on the other hand, can be programmed to heat the home only when you want it to. By investing in a programmable thermostat, you could save a lot of money and make your propane supply last a lot longer.
Another way to make your propane refill last is to ensure that your heater is performing as efficiently as possible. Perhaps the most common cause of heater inefficiency is a dirty air filter. When the air filter is filthy and clogged with debris, your furnace has to work harder to force air through the grime, using up more propane in the process. Luckily, changing out your air filter is a fast and easy task. For best results, you should change or clean your filter once every month.
- Purchase energy-efficient appliances:
If some of your appliances are 15 years old or older, it’s time for an update. Newer, more efficient water heaters, furnaces, and stoves are constantly being produced. If you purchase products that are recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star program, you could save hundreds of dollars every year and go a lot longer between propane refills.
When you do need a propane refill, you want it to be convenient and affordable. For quick, reliable propane delivery, contact Tri-Gas & Oil. We’re proud to deliver propane and petroleum products to homeowners all over Maryland and beyond. To learn more, call us today at (888) 556-6173.

Today’s homeowners are faced with two often conflicting desires: staying warm and reducing their energy consumption. Luckily, the AGRI-Blend heating oil from Tri-Gas & Oil not only reconciles these two concerns, but also supports the Maryland economy. Here’s a quick look at why AGRI-Blend is the ideal heating oil for your Maryland home:
AGRI-Blend is a unique combination of petroleum oil, performance-enhancing additives, and refined soybean oil. AGRI-Blend is also completely compatible with all furnaces and boilers on the market today. You don’t have to buy any special equipment to make it work—once AGRI-Blend is in the tank, it’s ready to efficiently heat your home. Also, Tri-Gas & Oil is proud to supply you with AGRI-Blend at no additional charge over conventional heating oils.
When you buy AGRI-Blend from Tri-Gas & Oil, you support soybean farmers all over Maryland and the rest of the mid-Atlantic region. When more homeowners choose AGRI-Blend, they boost the demand for soybeans, helping local farmers’ businesses thrive. Buying AGRI-Blend puts money in the pockets of hardworking local farmers, and eventually, back into your community.
According to the National Academies, space heating and cooling accounted for nearly 40% of all energy delivered to residential buildings in 2006. For many of these homes, the energy was produced by secondary or non-renewable means, such as electricity or oil. Since the bulk of AGRI-Blend comes from 100% renewable soybeans, it’s one of the more renewable home heating options currently available.
If you’d like to learn more about AGRI-Blend heating oil, don’t hesitate to contact Tri-Gas & Oil. We’re dedicated to providing Maryland residents with all the energy-efficient, renewable fuel products they need to stay comfortable in their homes year-round.
