Propane Heating Solutions

Why Propane Heat?

Propane heat is one of the most dependable and efficient solutions for off-grid and rural Alaska. It provides powerful, immediate warmth without the need for a large electrical draw — perfect for cabins, lodges, and off-grid homes relying on solar, wind, or generator power.

Unlike electric baseboard or heat pump systems, propane heaters continue performing during power outages and subzero temperatures, keeping you safe and comfortable year-round.

The Advantages of Propane Heaters

High efficiency: Modern propane heaters convert nearly all the fuel into usable heat, reducing fuel waste and lowering operating costs.

Off-grid ready: No reliance on electric power means you can heat your space even when solar or grid power isn’t available.

Reliable ignition and performance: Direct-vent and vent-free options offer steady performance without needing complex installation.

Compact and versatile: Wall-mounted, freestanding, and direct-vent models make it easy to heat small cabins or large workshops efficiently.

Clean and safe: Propane burns cleanly, producing fewer emissions and less maintenance than oil or wood systems.
