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 ...

Please remember electric is the most ineffecient energy source. There is a 60% line/transmission lose. Only 3415 BTU's per KW.
My house is all electric, due to being in the country. If I used propane my bills would be 10-25% less.
But if I converted to gas it would take 10 years just to get my investment back. We're going full time soon.
Rv'ing: I use propane to heat if I'm paying the utilities. If they are included in site rates I use electric.
