Propane Conversion Considerations

During the process of oil to propane conversion, many consumers wonder what will be the yearly heating energy consumption difference and costs of annual heating. It is not that clear when it comes to figuring out the amount that you will use when compared to oil heating. When you compare it in terms of gallons per liters, you will find out that there is difference when oil and propane is heated, they are not the same. Because propane is ranked as the most environment friendly fuel many companies & homes including those with Mendota fireplaces among others prefer it. During conversion it is very important to use a heating oil to propane conversion calculator.

The following are some of the things you will need to consider to know the amount of propane to use as a replacement for heating oil:

- The efficiency of the system; each system efficiency is very important since it will let you know how much of the heating propane or oil the system you are using goes to your home heating. You will find out that a good amount of heating oil goes towards your home usage, but the rest is lost energy. Propane will produce less heat per gallon but propane heating system are much more efficient than oil system.

- Gallon/litercosts; this is easily determined through the use of oil to propane conversion calculator, after putting down all the variables, the way to figure out the amount of propane needed to burn to get the equal amount of heat in comparison to oil heating.

- Another factor is to consider the amount of heat produced per gallon/liter.
