Products in the home

PERC’s story in the MOD Home is centered around propane as a whole home solution. The planned applications may include propane hybrid heat pump solutions, furnaces and boilers, water heating, and power generation, with additional lifestyle applications such as fireplaces, cooking, and clothes drying depending on the final equipment list.

Together, these systems help show how propane can work alongside the home’s broader energy strategy to support comfort, efficiency, backup power, and energy flexibility. Final applications and equipment details should be confirmed with PERC, Blossman Gas, and the builder before publishing product specific claims.

Propane Hybrid Heat Pump Solutions

Propane hybrid heat pump solutions can help support comfort and efficiency when outdoor temperatures drop and electric heat pumps become less effective. This creates a strong opportunity to show how propane can work alongside electric systems as part of a flexible heating strategy.

Propane Furnaces & Boilers

Propane furnaces and boilers provide dependable space heating for a wide range of home designs. These systems can support comfort, performance, and energy flexibility while giving builders another option for high performance residential heating.

Propane Water Heating

Propane water heating systems can deliver efficient hot water for daily household needs. From showers and laundry to kitchens and everyday comfort, propane water heating adds another layer of performance to the home’s overall energy story.

Propane Power Generation

Propane power generation can help homeowners maintain electricity during outages and periods of grid instability. Because propane is stored on site and does not degrade over time, it can provide dependable fuel availability for standby power when it matters most.
