Regarding the weather. We took a couple of 2 week trips in New England this fall. Several mornings were 40-45 degrees. We used the furnace while sleeping and a small space heater while awake. The electric heater kept us toasty without the furnace ever kicking in.
Can anyone give me a clue of how much LP the furnace uses? I believe we have a 30 gallon tank.
Again, thanks to all for the information.
I assume you meant to say that you have two 30 gal. propane tanks. All things being equal, weather temp., length of time heater actually used, I can get about 2 weeks on 1 30 gal. tank. In Ariz. during what they call their winter months, 32 deg. to about 45 deg. in the early mornings and evenings I run the furnace for about 3 hrs. in the AM and appox. 2 hrs. in the evening. The rest of the time I use the ocsillating elec. heater. I don't use the furnance once I go to bed. Hope this gives you some general idea of propance usuage.
