Electric or propane?
I am in the the process of getting my house plans drawn up and I have to mak a decision between gas or electric soon. The problem is the property I am building on doesn't have natural gas so if I do go with gas I have to get a tank. I don't like cooking on electric and I am going with a tankless hot water heater. Gas fired water heaters will produce higher flow rates than electric. My question is do any of you guys have propane tanks and how much do you burn a year and what size tanks do you have? Thanks.

I have a under ground 500 gal tank. I have 2 on demand water heaters and a cooktop. I top off once a year. It uses about 150 gallons a year.

If nothing else I'm sure the tank needs to be hydro tested every 5 years. Is the $50.00 for an in ground tank? If so, I wouldn't thing that is a bad deal at all.

I have one on one end of the house for kid's bath and one in the central area that is larger for master, mud room and kitchen area. I own my tank and there is no maintance that I have needed for the past 4 years. I really dont think it could handle both baths running and shower at once. I just wanted to make sure when I was ready to have HOT water I had it.

I will always go gas on stove , hot water, that way if electricity goes out i can still eat and have a hot shower.

I would go with gas cook top and
Electric oven. Every time I cook on electric I burn it. This is what I have. Attachment 37244 Attachment 37245 |

I have a 250 above ground and average 90 gallons a year, gas grill, range top, fire place and dryer. If I had to do it again I would have went with an electric range and learned to use it, our gas range top has never worked correctly!
