Default 2000 gallons! WOW!

You must have a Mcmansion!

We have a 2000 sg ft 5+ Star energy rating home. Gas range, gas dryer, gas tankless water heater and boiler combination, gas fireplace and gas BBQ pit and at the most in the past 4 years we burn 1400 gallons @ yr. Of course the Mitsubishi split keep us comfortable above 20 degrees.

We built with propane as at the time was the most energy efficient way to heat the home. With a supposedly 90 year supply and the forecast that propane/natural gas prices will remain low, plus the energy credits earned, made it far more economical than an oil furnace. Plus figure in the annual burner cleaning and occasional fire pit replacement that comes with oil heat.
