]]> Comment on Propane vs Natural Gas Costs. by Dan http://terry.ipearson.net/miscellaneous/propane-vs-natural-gas/comment-page-1/#comment-479 Dan Sat, 28 Jan 2012 03:48:22 +0000 http://blog.terrypearson.com/?p=467#comment-479 Wes, It totally matters which fuel has more btu. A therm of NG gives you about 100,000 btu while a therm of propane will give you 250,000. You're paying for how many btu you use. Also your math is a little off. If a gallon of propane is equal to .9 therms you need to take the price x 1.1 to give you the cost of a therm of propane. In your case $2.10 x1.1 = $2.31. This actually helps your argument. I pay $2.00 for propane so a therm would be $2.20. NG is $.90 per therm but I need 2.5 therms to get the same 250,000 btu. $.90 x 2.5 = $2.25. Pretty damn close where I live. People just need to do the math to see what works out best for them. If you have really crazy propane prices then NG will probably be cheaper Wes,

Natural gas is priced per therm. 1 therm =100,000Btu. Propane is priced per gallon. 1 gallon =.91 therm. Here in Oklahoma, including taxes & delivery charges, natural gas comes out to $0.87 per therm. Propane comes out to more than $1.91 per therm, considering that it costs $2.10 a gallon on PLUS tax. Last time I checked, a Btu is a Btu, regardless of the fuel source. If propane is $1.91 per 100,000 Btu and natural gas is $0.87 per 100,000 Btu Natural gas is the clear winner. It doesn't matter which fuel has more Btu per cu. foot. Per Btu, natural gas is quite a bit less expensive, something the original article explained how to figure out.

We installed a ground source heat pump, 8 years ago. Basically the heat pump draws energy out of the ground water, dumping the heat into the house, the water is dumped out onto the ground (we have a wetland behind the house). We have 10 acres. Propane is our backup system. In a typical year we spend about $1800 on electricty and $300 on propane. Propane is also used for cooking. The heat pump also provides hot water (we have an electric water heater) while we use it in the winter for heating, or in the summer for cooling. I live in central Minnesota.

It cost me $50 a year for the tank and the propain here cost $2.39 a gallon. I have a 200 gallon tank and i had it filled in september. Im down to 50% and its the Begining of November. Not too bad. Last year i had natural gas and it ran about 200-300 a month depending on how cold it was outside.
