While much of the rest of the country thinks northern Arizona is always a hot desert, we know the truth. The average low temperature in Flagstaff in January is 17˚ Fahrenheit!
That means we have to keep the heat on, so our homes stay warm, safe, and comfortable, throughout the winter season just as our friends on the East Coast do!
And how best to do that? Propane, of course! It provides an even, comfortable heat that gets your home warm faster than electricity and is more energy efficient.
Superior Propane Inc. not only provides reliable propane delivery, but we can also help you with finding the best propane heating system for your home.

Programming your thermostat correctly can save you up to 10% on your heating costs. Here’s how to do it:
