How to Use This Calculator
- Enter your propane tank size (gallons or lbs).
- Set BTU ratings for furnace, water heater, and cooking from your appliance nameplates.
- Enter cooking hours per day and outside temperature (colder = more furnace runtime).
- Review daily propane usage (lbs) and estimated tank duration (days).
- Plan propane refills so you never run below 20% -- running out can cause appliance relighting issues.
