Propane Tank

[dave77]

Is the floor radiant heat all there is or do you also have a propane furnace?

A friend is temporally living in 30' 5th wheel and when it's really cold she spends more than $81.90 for propane in 2 weeks, she doesn't have a large tank so is paying the current rate of $3.79 a gallon so that makes it quite a bit more than your summer, large quantity rate.

The floor radiant heating uses a propane furnace and is the only source of heat downstairs. Upstairs it’s heated with electric baseboards. I’ve only used them to confirm they work. I have a curtain at the top of the stairs to prevent the heat from rising to the second floor. Now that it’s warmed up and I was upstairs working in the office I opened the curtain and it got up to 66F.

It’s the first of the month and time to read the propane meter. It’s at 43% so I’ve used 370 gallons since September 25th. At $1.17 a gallon that’s $432.90 or $86.58 a month during the winter. It’s been a mild winter so I might not get by that cheap every winter.

I should be able to go a full year on one tank and with three tanks I can go three years.

I’ve used 400 gallons since September 25th. I should be able to go a full year on one tank although I’ll top off in August when the prices are the lowest. My average cost has come down to $78 a month. I suspect it will go even lower as it warms up.
