PERC launches webinar series about propane technologies

September 10, 2020 By Brian Richesson

The Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) is launching a new webinar series for propane marketers and end users. Hosted and facilitated by PERC, in partnership with various OEMs, the “Propane Presents Technology Series” focuses on new and emerging propane technologies, education and best practices on how to approach the ideal customer.

The series aims to showcase various propane products, answer questions directly from the industry and end users, and provide relevant resources and training information. New topics will be added every month, speaking to propane technologies across various markets, including agriculture, construction and material handling. The sessions will be recorded and available for viewing following the live events.

“With many trade shows and in-person events being temporarily canceled, PERC is working to come up with virtual opportunities to continue promoting propane technology and equipment,” says Bryan Cordill, director of residential and commercial business development at PERC. “The webinar series is educational and engaging in nature, with each presentation focusing on a different OEM or piece of propane-powered equipment. Ultimately, we hope attendees walk away with a new understanding of how propane equipment can benefit their customers.”

The first live webinar, created in partnership with Rinnai, will take place at 2 p.m. EDT on Sept. 10. During the webinar, Rinnai will discuss the features and advantages of hydronic air handlers, discuss installation and service fundamentals for construction professionals, and provide best practices for approaching the ideal customer.

Hydronic heating systems, which can be part of new and retrofit projects, offer a smaller carbon footprint and increased efficiency than comparable products, PERC notes. The systems also provide increased comfort, backup and emergency heat with a heat pump, and improved efficiency when paired with Rinnai tankless condensing products, the council adds.
