LP or electric on a meter

[blaczero]

Hey everyone, I have a seasonal site where I have metered electric, so for fridge, heat and hot water, is LP or electric cheaper?

Cost really is a non-issue in the choice.

Unless you use a ton of propane, the convenience of electric makes it worth paying an extra $5-10 per year with electricity.

If you use that much on a seasonal site, see about getting a propane company to bring out a big 100gal tank but unless you do a lot of winter camping, it's unlikely to be worth it.

I's seen written a few times that $2 a gallon is approximately equal to 10 cents per kWh.

Generally LP is cheaper..
HOWEVER it depends on how much you pay per unit for each and sadly I do not have the conversion factors handy.
