It is less expensive to run the electric heaters and refrigerator on electric, rather than hassel with refilling the propane tank every couple of months.
It takes about 22 KW of electric to make 80,000 Btu's of heat, while this same amount is made burning a gallon of propane (with flue gas loss taken into account).
So if a gallon of propane is $2.20 and a KW is only 10 cents, it would be equal cost either way. However the propane is normally not delivered, and if you are burning 2 gallons of gas to make a special trip, you would not with the electric.
If you have a heat pump, then you can make 80,000 Btu's while consuming about 8 KW, or 80 cents at 10 cents per KW. Heat pumps are very economical. .

We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
