Does propane conduct heat?
No. it does not
What is the heat capacity of liquid propane?
It depends on the temperature and pressure.
Does cold affect propane?
Yes and no. Propane is very nonreactive by itself (except when burned in oxygen). The temperature that propane is at doesn't effect it's properties. Also, propane has a very low freezing point (-188°C) so it won't freeze when it gets cold. However, when using propane for a stove, etc., cold can affect how well it works. A propane tank is full of liquid propane under pressure. When it is being used, the liquid first has to vaporize to a gas, where it can then be burned. Because it takes a lot of heat for the liquid to vaporize into a gas, cold weather can slow down the flow. If this is a problem, the propane tank can be placed in a bucket of lukewarm water so that heat is available for the propane to vaporize.

Can an oil furnace be converted to propane?
I have never heard of a way to do this without changing the whole furnace. Propane furnaces are usually thin steal walled heat exchangers with many burners. Oil Furnaces have a large burner chamber and then a small heat exchanger above it. If there is a way, you will need to change the heat exchanger and all electrical components. It may be cheaper in the end to just change the whole furnace.
Does central heat run on gas?
Central heat may run on gas, oil, propane, electric, geothermal or solar.

Whats cheaper electric or oil hot water?
As of 2014, electric is much cheaper than oil to heat a home. The oil costs has went up considerable in the last few years.
Does propane conduct heat?
No. it does not
Which fuel is cheaper to heat with for the same production of btu's?
Natural gas= 1000 btu per cubic ft, propane =2500 btu per cubic ft and #2 fuel oil = 140,000 btu per gallon. Check the availability & prices in your area and you can figure your answer.
Why does it cost more to refine heating oil then gasoline?
because oil is cheaper than gasoline & its heat came longer then gasoline.
