For gas and oil water heaters, you need to know the unit cost of fuel by BTU (British thermal unit) or therm (1 therm = 100,000 BTU). Then use the following calculation: 365 X 41045/EF X Fuel Cost (BTU) = estimated annual cost of operation

∙ 9y agoWhen you compare the cost of propane and electricity, the cost of propane is lower than that of electricity. This is because whereas propane is a primary source, electricity is a secondary source.

Propane Water Heater?
First, there are two major types of frozen regulators: internal and esternal. Internal: This freeze-up is usually caused by a high flow of propane through the hose in some of the larger capacity grills. If all the burners are on and there is a high humidity day, you may fnind the regulator and hose assemblies "frosted over". If you shut down the grill (If it hasn't already stopped) the problem will resolve itself. When you restart the grill, either lower the teperature of the burners or shut some of them off. Either will reduce the propane flow and should resolve your problem. External: If you have a regulator frozen in winter, you will have to warm it up, preferably in doors so that it can dry as well. DO NOT USE FLAME! Although this is probably a job for professionals, either an electric heating pad, one of those heating pads that you put in a microwave, or a heat lamp directed at it may do the trick. Remember that you have to assume that there will be gas flowling during the entire warm-up period, so NO SOURCE of IGNITION should be near by.
