How Much Propane Will I Use This Winter?

Boehlke Bottled Gas helps you manage your propane costs

There is no way to precisely predict how much propane you will use this winter. There are too many variables at play here, such as weather, the size of your home, the amount of insulation you have, the age and condition of your propane appliances, and more.

Because most homes that use propane for home heating also utilize it for other appliances, such as water heaters, ranges, fireplaces, and clothes dryers, predicting propane usage is difficult.

The winter season has a significant impact on your usage of all those appliances. Because the water coming into your home is colder in the winter, your water heater will have to work harder. You’ll be utilizing your gas fireplace more often. With being home more, your propane range will get more frequent usage. If you have adult kids home from college, or family and friends visiting, your propane usage will go up thanks to doing more laundry, cooking more, and turning up the heat (especially if you have older loved ones visiting).

Here are the averages for propane usage for your propane appliances. Your usage may vary depending on the age, condition, and energy efficiency of your appliances.
