OTOH gas isn't all that cheap here and electricity is. (11c /KWH) Teco is still recovering the cost of running a pipe from Tampa and they still haven't expanded into most old neighborhoods. I haven't really looked into it since I can't get it but at my wife's club the snowbirds were complaining that gas was a lot cheaper up there. I remember it being a pretty small bill when I was there. |

I remember it being a pretty small bill when I was there. Gas here used to run about $10 a month, with just the heater. Now with heater (more efficient model) and a gas dryer, the prices have soared. I pay about $120 average a month in gas. As electric Is very pricey. I get an Electric Vehicle rate and pay almost 13 cents a KWh at night, but 42.5 cents peak rate times. If I charged my car during peak times, I figured the gas equivalent is over $4 a gallon. |

Maybe you stay up 11 pm to 6 am for laundry, but not going to make wife. Happy wife, happy life. We are the wrong people to ask. I haven't gone to bed before 2am in 25 years. |

Last time I checked propane, it was about $2.75 a gallon, but that rate fluctuates widely. Have seen it at $3+ a gallon. -- * Lock up Trump and his family of grifters. * |

I don't buy enough to care that much tho. I know after Irma and through most of that winter it was around $4 but I didn't need it enough to pay that much. In the spring I filled my tank for $2.11 "on sale". It is still out there. |

The propane supplier we use is very customer friendly and service-oriented, so it is easy to maintain or upgrade or replace whatever uses their product. When we added the second fireplace a few years ago, the supplier sent out a crew to dig the 3' deep trench between the buried tank for about 75' to where it enters the house, plus the fittings, the hookups and the county inspection. The fittings and hookup were done by a union plumber. My recollection is that the only charge was for the wrapped copper pipe and fittings. -- * Lock up Trump and his family of grifters. * |

I paid about $1500 for the buried tank and the connections for the pool heater and generator (tank, pipe, regulators, permits and labor). I own the tank so I have some flexibility in who I get to fill it. |
