Electricity is delivered and does not run out (empty) overnight. <br /><br />George<br />Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293217933289386039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-19582129332115954522015-12-19T20:15:19.664-06:002015-12-19T20:15:19.664-06:00Judy....I've been looking for this formula to ...Judy....I've been looking for this formula to compare using campground electric and propane. I searched for your email address to send it to you but was unable to find it on your blog. So, I hope you don't mind if I attach it here. :-) Good luck. Paul<br /><br />Propane for RV use is priced per gallon; electricity is priced in kilowatt/hours. They must be equated in a common measure to allow us to compare them. Manufactures of electric resistant heat space heaters state that the input of one kilowatt/hour produces 3,412 BTU’s. That is not the heat output. They aren’t 100 percent efficient. Standard reference guides give conversion of electricity to heat as only 95 percent efficient, producing an output of 3,241 BTUs per kilowatt hour. Each gallon of propane contains 91,691 BTUs of heat energy. Our furnace label claims it is 80 percent efficient, but standard reference guides say burning propane is only 78 percent efficient. Seventy-eight percent of 91,691 BTUs input computes heat output at 71,519 BTUs per gallon of propane. Dividing 71,519 BTUs for propane by 3,241 BTUs for electricity shows that the heat energy of one gallon of propane equals the heat energy of 22 kilowatts of electricity.<br /><br />If a gallon of propane costs more than 22 kilowatts of electricity, use electric heat. For example, if electricity costs 14 cents per kilowatt, 22 times 14 cents is $3.08. If the cost of propane is $2.70 per gallon, naturally you would use propane.

It was that plus the unknown cost of running said blower which reduced the difference in price to the point that I would be willing to pay some extra to avoid the noise. Mr. Spock would have noted that and been able to tell me exactly what the extra amount I was paying.<br /><br />It is great that you have such a quiet furnace and sorry that the heat pump is so noisy. Is is logical to assume that you use the furnace more and do not consider the cost?edlfreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16859730659143852274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-21694892311155030282015-12-17T06:35:56.700-06:002015-12-17T06:35:56.700-06:00Glad you've got a reliable and honest repair g...Glad you've got a reliable and honest repair guy.

The noise made by an appliance depends on the manufacturer and model of the appliance, as well as where in the coach it's installed. Our gas furnace is an Atwood 9535-IV; it is located under the oven, and it makes a pleasant rushing sound when it runs. Our heat pump and A/C are a Coleman 6536B881; it is located under the bed on my side, and it makes deep bass growling that sounds like the end of the world.

The 91,500 BTUs converted to KWH is 26.816 times $0.11 would be $2.95. <br /><br />The furnace also uses electricity for the blower but I don't know how much and the furnace blower is noisy as others have pointed out. So for the difference in price I would probably stick with the heat pump while at Jojoba where it should work at high efficiency.edlfreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16859730659143852274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-24305365472949812382015-12-16T09:20:15.792-06:002015-12-16T09:20:15.792-06:00With that new pull out faucet, you can now shower ...With that new pull out faucet, you can now shower in the sink and use the shower for storage... ;c)<br /><br />Glad to hear you found a reliable tech, they are almost as rare as hen's teeth.

AND, we do not have to pay someone to fix what we broke while trying to fix what was broken! I have had (nearly) that same faucet for several years in my coach. I upgraded to that model after having the same one in my home, before we left to full time on the road. Mine pulls out far enough that I can put water in a pot on the stove for pasta or whatever, without having to move it. I always wanted a fancy pot-filler in my kitchen!
