Utilities & SystemsPROPANE CONSUMPTIONMost propane appliances are operated intermittently. Unless there is heavy use of hotwater, the water heater consumption is minimal. During freezing weather and high windconditions, furnace consumption can be extremely high.Propane consumption depends upon the length of time appliances are operated. Eachgallon (3.86 liters) of propane produces about 91,500 BTUs (46,514 kilojoules) of heatenergy.
