What Are the Advantages of Propane for Commercial Mowers?
Many landscaping companies are shifting from gas to propane to power their commercial mowers. Consider the benefits below:
- Cost-Effectiveness: Unlike gas prices, propane prices are relatively stable, which makes propane more cost-effective than gasoline. This helps businesses save money on fuel expenses over time. Though prices vary depending on day and location, propane is 33% cheaper than gas or diesel in 2024.
- Environmental Benefits: Propane is a cleaner-burning fuel than gasoline, thus reducing emissions. And since propane is a gas and not a liquid, propane use eliminates fuel spillage and leakage.
- Longer Engine Life: Propane may extend engine life due to its higher octane level and less carbon buildup.
- Less Maintenance: Propane engines typically require less maintenance from stale gasoline, reducing downtime and repair costs.
- Safety: Propane has a lower flammability range than gasoline, making it a safer fuel option for use in landscaping equipment.
- Availability: Propane is readily available in many areas, with easily accessible refueling options with propane exchange services like ours!
- Increased productivity: Landscape contractors can get more run time out of a propane cylinder than a tank of gas. Mowers can also be purchased with dual cylinders for even longer performance. Longer-lasting fuel means employees spend less time refueling, saving hours and even days multiplied over many crews throughout the year. With less time in the shop for scheduled maintenance, propane-fueled mowers will also keep you running more days every month.
Government Incentives for Propane-Fueled Machinery
With sustainable practices only becoming more important, the U.S. government incentivizes businesses to use fuels other than gasoline through tax credits. In August 2022, President Biden reinstated the Alternative Tax Credit. The credit is available through December 31, 2024, and extends back to January 1, 2022. The credit is about $0.37/gallon of propane. Your business will receive the credit as a cash payment or a refundable income tax credit.
