I have a house located in the Western MD mountains. My propane bill is $200 per month! Much more than I expected when I built the home.
My biggest mistake was signing a contract with the local propane dealer. They charge twice the current rack rate! If you can shop around for your propane, my guess is around $60 per month which is not too bad.
The approximate cost would be about $60.00 per month.
The cost to heat a 1500 square foot home with propane will vary depending on the efficiency of your heating system, local propane prices, and your home's insulation. On average, it can cost anywhere from $1,200 to $3,000 per year to heat a home of this size with propane.
The average heating bill for gas heat is around 70-100 dollars a month. If you are using electric heat, it would be around 100-125 dollars a month.
The heat combustion of paraffin produces less heat energy compared to propane because propane has a higher energy content per unit mass. Propane releases more energy per carbon atom compared to paraffin during combustion, making it a more efficient fuel for heating. Additionally, propane burns cleaner with lower emissions compared to paraffin.
That would all depend on the size of house, cost of propane etc. Propane would definitely be cheaper than electric heat. http://www.grist.org/news/counter/2006/03/03/costs/ A 3,500 square foot home in Minnesota using radiant in-floor heat (during winter of 2010/2011) cost between $750 and $850 per month for propane (about 375 gallons per month x $2.26 per gallon).
I am not sure for a 2 bedroom, I will know next month seeing as I just moved into a 2 bedroom this month lol. As for a one bed one bath I paid no more than $40 a month. My husband and I have lived in a one bed for 2 years and even with heat during the winter it has never gone over $40. It averages about $25/month. This is in the bay area california
The heat and light produced when burning propane come from the chemical reaction between propane and oxygen. This reaction releases energy in the form of heat and light as the propane molecules break apart and combine with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water vapor.
Propane itself does not conduct heat; however, when burnt, it releases heat energy that can then be conducted through a material in contact with the flame or hot surface.
((1.5 x 1000)/molecular weight of propane) x molar heat of combustion of propane.
Information about propane tank services can be found at SIS Propane, Propane 101, Temp Heat, Sparlings, Eagle Propane, Natural Handyman and True Point.
It depends on the temperature and pressure.
If you have run out of propane and need to restart your heat, you will need to contact your propane provider to schedule a delivery. Once the propane is delivered and the tank is filled, you can relight the pilot light on your heating system following the manufacturer's instructions. It's important to ensure proper ventilation and safety measures are in place when dealing with propane.
