Propane furnaces operate at 96% AFUE. Grid electricity loses ~33% in transmission before reaching your home, reducing effective efficiency.
Why Propane for Your Home
Propane delivers more heat per dollar, works when the grid doesn’t, and gives you instant hot water on demand.
Propane stores on-site in your tank. When power goes out, your heat, water, and stove keep working.
Propane water heaters recover twice as fast as electric resistance and deliver higher flow rates on demand.
At 96% AFUE, a propane furnace converts nearly all its fuel to heat — electric resistance is effectively 100% but the grid wastes ~33% delivering that electricity.
Compared to electric resistance heating, most homes see 30–50% lower annual energy costs with propane at current prices.
How It Works
Every number uses EPA emission factors, EIA price data, and standard BTU conversion constants. No black boxes.
Input home size and estimated annual consumption for heating, water heating, and cooking in therms.
We convert therms to kilowatt-hours and gallons, then price each fuel at live or entered rates.
CO₂ emissions are calculated using EPA factors for propane and EIA’s average grid emissions intensity.
