Changing From Oil To Propane?
Posted on | January 9, 2010 | 3 Comments
I have to replace my oil furnace and hot water heater. Using the opportunity to change from oil to electric heat pump with a propane back up for when it drops below 40 degrees. Approx sq ft is 1700. We have a heat pump in our 1000 sq ft. addition already. Also putting in a tankless hot water heater that will run off the propane. Any idea on what size propane tank to get? Thanks!

you will have to hook up with a propane supplier to service your home. These guys will know what size tanks you need. Some outfits also service them using ”degree heater days” formula similar to what the oil companys use and come and add gas to the tanks.
This is a good arrangement you are installing.

You really should talk to a local propane supplier. Climate may have a big impact on what size tank you need.

id say a 500 gallon would be enough to do the job
