Northern Sierra Propane Inc
13121 John Bauer Avenue , Grass Valley, California, United States

Northern Sierra Propane (NSP) has expanded into Placer and Yuba counties and now serves over three thousand customers using twelve employees to assure their accounts are served in a timely manner. NSP measures its success on the volume (gallons) of sales and is now delivering in excess of 1,500,000 gallons to their friends (yes our customers are our friends) in their operating area.     Service is the key to both the growth and success of NSP, and in addition to their base product (propane) we supply and install tanks to contain the product at the customer’s site. Deliveries are scheduled to assure the product is available in a timely manner, and every effort is maintained to keep the cost of the product in line with the current economy. A budget payment program is in place, which allows our accounts to spread their costs over the full year regardless of how often the product is delivered.     The office is open Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 pm. We also have an emergency service that is available twenty-four hours a day to assure you never run out of Propane. Every employee is dedicated to providing our customers with their propane needs and related service in a prompt and friendly manner.     The rewards and the success of our business are proof that Northern Sierra Propane is a welcome business in our community. 

Propane is an Environmentally Friendly Fuel 

  Propane is an approved, clean fuel listed in the 1990 Clean Air Act and the Energy Policy Act of 1992. Propane is one of the lightest, simplest hydrocarbons in existence, and, as a result, is one of the cleanest burning of all fossil fuels. Burning coal to generate electricity releases carbon dioxide and other pollutants into the atmosphere.  Per pound of fuel burned, coal emits more than twice the amount of carbon dioxide as does propane.  By using propane gas instead of electricity, consumers can cut emissions and help preserve the environment. Propane gas is nontoxic, so it is not harmful to soil or water.  Because propane does not endanger the environment, the placement of propane tanks either above or below ground is not regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency. According to EPA, much of the sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere, which produces acid rain, is attributable to coal-fired electricity-generating facilities.  In contrast, neither the process by which propane is produced nor the combustion of propane gas produces significant acid rain contaminants. The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) footprint of propane is relatively small compared to other fuels in terms of total emissions and emissions per unit of energy consumed.  Propane has the lowest emission rate of the major energy sources, with the exception of natural gas.
