Cost difference of propane vs electricity
Wish to find out which might be cheaper to operate when outside temps are the same. Electricity cost at .17c per KW. Hot water heater, (Atwood 10 gal. GC 10A-4E) is on only when needed, can be used ...

Hi Dutch,
Except that electricity heat is nearly 100% efficient. Where as a propane furnace is about 80%. The other issue is electricity is "on tap" and propane is not, so there is a nuisance value.
I'm currently running between 4500 and 5500 watts of electric heat--and no propane.
