I converted everything off of the expensive Propane
we have here
we don't & can't use fuel oil,
not that I'd ever even want to
we don't/can't get
natural gas (it's cheap) up here either,
so it's either electric or propane, not a huge fan of electric stove/dbl oven
but it's way cheaper & about the same cooking time, a lot cleaner too
also far less heat in the kitchen when cooking too (or anytime)...
The last thing left in my house is the propane Hot Water heater,
(
I now only have a 120cuft propane tank now, $20 every 2 months rental,
goes with the service it gets filled once a year, about 100cuft,
I was using 300cuft tank, used like 250+cuft average a month before)
& when it's time is up, it will be replaced with tankless electric unit/s too
probably 2 units, 1 on either end of the house, so it doesn't take
so long to get hot water to the sink or to the showers, more efficient...
I save probably $300 a month on
not buying Propane
in the winter months
& probably another $100 on electricity a month
let alone the cost to run that old swamp cooler,
probably another $75 a month in summer
for a far more efficient electric HVAC system
my new HVAC unit is far more efficient than the old 1989
propane over electric heating unit was
&
I have AC now to boot...
(how people in Calif don't/didn't have it I don't know)
No longer 'Not a miserable swamp cooler', adding humidity
We have Bryant (made in USA) a 4 Ton unit for a 1600 sqft house, split system
best $$$ I ever spent on this house...
We average $100-$125 a month for an electric bill now,
(PG&E isn't cheap here either)
a lil' more in winter, maybe $150, my dad likes it 70*+
I like it like 67*-68* & set at 77* in the mid-summer, when it's like 90*-100*+
he'd have it 80*+ in the house if he could
otherwise lately, I just turn it on to 77* when I'm cooking
use a couple ceiling fans to keep the air circulating & moving
so the house doesn't heat up so much, seems to work pretty good now...
I'll bet I'm saving $4,000+ a year on what I was org. paying...
good luck & I hope you got it all sorted out
