Is gas heating better than oil?
is gas cheaper than oil
How much cheaper is natural gas heating than oil heating?
== == It depends on where you live and the cost of the fuel. You have to convert to the heating value of gas and oil, factor in efficiency, and then compare the cost per BTU's. For example: Determine the cost of gas vs. oil in your area: For example, heating oil in Seattle is $4.10 per gallon while gas is $1.09 per therm. Next, calculate the cost of fuel per MMBTU's. Knowing that heating oil has 138,690 BTU per gallon and natural gas has 100,000 BTU per therm, you can calculate using this equation: $ cost --------- X 1,000,000 = cost per MMBTU BTU's The result of the above step is $29.56/MMBTU for oil, and $10.87/MMBTU for gas. Next, divide the above by the efficiency of the furnace. Oil furnaces are 80 to 90% efficient and gas furnaces are typically 83% efficient. The net cost of the fuel per MMBTU is $34.78 for oil and $13.09 for gas in this scenario. If your old house uses 63 MMBTU a heating season, that is a total of $2,200 for oil and $824 for gas for the whole heating season
What is the cost of hot water using oil?
With heating oil at $2.89/gal and nat. gas at $1.61/ therm, using an 80% efficient oil vs: a 80% Nat gas heater, 1 million btu's cost you $27.00 for oil and $19.20 for nat. gas. Use applicable local pricing, convert to btu's per unit, etc. lc
What is the original source of energy for this heating system?
The original source of energy for this heating system is electricity or natural gas. Electric heating systems convert electrical energy into heat, while gas heating systems burn natural gas to produce heat.
What energy do you depend on?
Electricity for lighting, cooking, heating, appliances; oil for transport; natural gas for domestic heating
Can kerosene and gas oil be mixed for domestic heating?
No, it is not recommended to mix kerosene and gas oil for domestic heating. These two fuels have different properties and mixing them could potentially cause damage to heating systems and pose safety risks. It is best to use the fuel recommended by the manufacturer of your heating system.
What fossil fuels are burned when heating and cooling a home?
Coal, gas and oil
How much does it cost to heat a 3500 sq ft home gas vs oil?
