One thing I found interesting. The propane water heater I took out was estimating the price of propane at the time (25 years ago) at .78 a gallon. The last bill I paid last January was 3.48 gallon. The primary electric water heat I installed there was about 1 year older than the propane one I took out. And it was estimating the electrical cost at .088 kwh. So over the last couple decades electricity has gone up about 37% and propane has gone up over 400%!!! I'm sure that at the time that's why my parents went propane because it was cheaper than using electric, but the tables have drastically changed.
