[QUOTE="Firpo, post: 3927953, member: 45550"] Well [USER=15054]@swampratt[/USER]? There are 91,600 BTUs in a gallon of propane. Just looked it up and according to Google gas furnaces range from 40-200,000BTUs so 91,600/75,000=1.22 hours per gallon and say you’re paying $3.00/gallon if it’s running 50% of the time you’d be looking at around $60/day?? Now my math could be WAY off because I have no idea how large a furnace you’d need and really no clue how long it would have to run to maintain a particular temperature.
