When you use propane in your home, making sure you always have enough propane is critical.
That’s especially true this time of year if you have a propane furnace. A propane furnace provides even, comfortable heating. It is also remarkably energy efficient, helping you control costs for heating your home. When you take into account that heating makes up about half your home’s energy costs in the winter, you can see what a difference clean-burning, efficient propane can make for you.

There is no hard and fast number for how much propane a propane furnace uses. There are many variables, including:
But, on average, a propane furnace for a single-family home in our neck of the woods burns between 500 and 1,200 gallons of propane annually for heating and cooking.
Additionally, the average homeowner uses between 200-300 gallons of propane per year for hot water.
