HBH Gas Systems and Ferrellgas announced today their newest project: a Community Propane (http://www.hbhsystems.com/) located off the natural gas grid with clean-burning, economical propane from a single, centralized tank. These systems are highly economical, saving homeowners approximately 50% on their heating bills when compared to electric heating. HBH Gas Systems will oversee the design and implementation of the system at Coyote Springs, while Ferrellgas will own and operate the system. Together, Ferrellgas and HBH Gas Systems will make all necessary provisions for permanent underground metered propane gas service for this sustainable and environmentally-responsible community.
"HBH and Ferrellgas are proud to have been selected for this landmark system," says Harris Baker, President of HBH Gas Systems. "We look forward to providing the people of Coyote Springs
with the same quality service we provide every community fueled by one of our systems."
Extending pipelines to bring natural gas to Coyote Springs would have cost between $40 million and $70 million. Faced with such a massive line extension cost, the developers turned to HBH
Gas Systems and Ferrellgas for a solution. This Community Propane Distribution System will provide economical, domestically produced propane to each individual home, which will be
metered, billed, and consumed in a manner virtually identical to natural gas.
Coyote Springs Land Company LLC and Pardee Homes of Nevada are developing the first phases of Coyote Springs. The HBH Gas System at Coyote Springs allows the developers working off of the
natural gas grid to offer the many benefits of dual-fuels to homeowners.
Regarding the project, Baker said, "The entire team is proud to be a part of a responsible, cutting-edge energy solution for this environmentally sensitive new town. Coyote Springs will
grow into a significant city offering new residents and businesses an incomparable quality of life based on the most economical and efficient balanced-energy home."
Homeowners in the Coyote Springs community will have the peace-of-mind associated with using an alternative green fuel as classified by the Clean Air Act and the Energy Policy Act. In
