Wow, pretty expensive.
I just did a calc on various fuels in Portland, Oregon (my fair city), using
this handy calculator, assuming 100% efficiency (always an optimist!), for 100,000 BTU of heat:
- Natural Gas = $2
- Propane = $3.45
- Fuel Oil = $2.46
- Electricity, Resistance = $3.22
- Electricity, Heat Pump (COP = 2.5) = $1.29
Eight-to-one cost difference between LPG and Nat Gas?
That's really a lot.
