Tourism brings in close to $8 billion to the Maine economy and about $1 billion in tax revenue each year. Sixteen million people travel to Maine annually. Tourism supports about 107,000 jobs, 16% of the state’s employment. In fact, Maine had the strongest tourism industry recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic in the nation.
Propane is an excellent energy source for hotels, inns, vacation home rentals, restaurants, resorts, event centers, and other hospitality businesses.
Commercial clothes dryers powered by propane are used at hotels, resorts, and golf courses to quickly dry large amounts of linens 25% faster than electric dryers. This, coupled with the fact that propane dryers produce fewer wrinkles, boosts the efficiency of housekeeping staff.
Propane enables restaurant and commercial kitchen chefs to prepare high-quality meals with the precise, immediate temperature control available with propane ranges, broilers, cooktops, and grills. Propane can also power water heaters, warming trays, outdoor heating, and more.
Maine is known for its outstanding agricultural products, especially potatoes, dairy, and blueberries. Farmers all around Maine count on propane in a wide range of ways.
Propane is an efficient way to heat barns, greenhouses, and other outbuildings. It can also provide power for standby generators for homes and outbuildings. Flame weed control with propane is an environmentally friendly alternative to harmful herbicides contaminating the soil and allows you to get back to work in the field almost immediately, something you can’t accomplish with herbicides.
Propane plays a critical role in helping construction projects stay on time during frigid winter weather. Construction businesses use propane to power temporary equipment like heaters and ground-thawers, as well as generators. This allows them to keep working in cold weather and protects materials from the elements.
Whether it’s a summer tropical storm or a wintertime nor’easter, power outages can wreak havoc on all kinds of businesses. Propane standby generators are used at retail and grocery stores, hospitals, assisted living centers, nursing homes, healthcare facilities, schools, and other enterprises to protect people and property during power outages. A propane standby generator also keeps HVAC systems running to protect essential business technology like servers, computers, and other electronics.
Propane is a more dependable energy source for generators than gasoline because it doesn’t degrade over time. Additionally, businesses and institutions that use propane generators don’t have to rely on natural gas utility or its questionable infrastructure.
