Cost of Natural Gas vs. Propane for a Patio Heater???
I am looking at buying 2 patio heaters. Can anyone tell me the efficiency/cost difference of using Natural Gas as opposed to Propane. I will be using the heaters through February only and would be going through approximately $100 of propane per week while using the heaters over the winter. The Natural Gas heater costs about 50% more than the propane heater, but would I make up the cost in using natural gas?
Wow!……… What a question…….Efficiency…… ummmm let’s see, that would be a big 0%. You’re heating the great outdoors, probably not the most efficient thing in the world to be doing.
Now in regards to your cost of operation question; it’s unanswerable without knowing the natural gas rates in your area.
