Industry Retailers Can Benefit from Propane-Powered Homes
Propane Council Introduces Incentive Program
Retailers in the manufactured housing and modular housing arena now have a broad incentive program for homes that use propane and propane-powered appliances.
The Propane Education and Research Council said it initiated the Manufactured Housing Retailer Incentive Program to encourage manufactured housing retailers to work with their clients to include “clean, reliable, and efficient propane appliances in homes.”
Bryan Cordill, PERC’s director of residential and commercial development, said the program offers up to $6,000 for each sales center location to install model homes with propane appliances to help showcase the benefits of building with propane.
“This incentive program provides a great opportunity for manufactured housing retailers to access funds necessary to showcase propane and its benefits,” Cordill said. “Adding propane performance to homes is an important step in further reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing efficiency and resiliency.
“To receive funding, we ask that retailers work directly with their propane supplier to apply for the program,” he added.
The funds will cover any increase in the cost of the model home to incorporate propane, including the cost to convert appliances, install the propane system, and perform safety checks.
Funding is available for HUD Code homes and modular homes with a gas range and a heating appliance, either a furnace or fireplace.
PERC said the propane supplier and manufactured housing retailers are required to report sales of propane homes from the retailer on a semi-annual basis for three years.
The Propane Education and Research Council is a nonprofit organization that provides propane safety and training programs and invests in research and development of new propane-powered technologies. PERC is operated and funded by the propane industry. For more information, visit Propane.com. MHV
