Natural Gas can save you hundreds of dollars on your energy bills

How can I compare Natural Gas and Propane?
First we need to have a common denominator.
The industry uses the Therm when comparing different fuels.
One therm=100,000 BTUs(British Thermal Units)
This is a measure of heat when a fuel is consumed.
Since gas is sold by the therm, by converting each fuel to equivilent
therms, you can compare the heating value and costs of these fuels.
100 Cu.Ft. of Natural Gas yields the heating content of one therm.
1.1 Gallons of Propane yields the heating content of one therm.
At current Parsons Natural Gas Rates based on 10,000 cf usage the
cost per therm is $1.10
At current Propane Gas Rates the cost per therm is $1.76
The Natural Gas figure includes Sales Tax and the $6.60 monthly fee.
The Propane Gas figure includes Sales Tax but does not include any
tank rental fees.
