You can get the input rating off the unit nameplate and divide that # by 2500 and that will tell you how many cubic feet of propane vapor the furnace burns per hour. If you buy propane by the gallon ask your supplier how many cubic feet of vapor a gallon of liquid propane yields and you can figure your answer.

In examining the costs of natural gas vs. propane, the rates of local energy utilities and propane companies vary and will need to be taken into account for correct comparison. But to get the cost comparison between the two fuels, you must compare the cost of the energy value which can be obtained through local propane companies and utility companies. While utility companies provide price per cubic foot, propane companies provide price per gallon. Natural gas availability will usually determine whether or not propane can be used because many municipalities will require the use of natural gas if a business or residence is within a certain distance of a natural gas main line.
