Winter propane cost estimator
A season's propane cost as a range, at your state's current price.
Usage ranges are typical whole-season figures, not a reading of your home: the EIA Residential Energy Consumption Survey puts average all-use household propane near 390 gallons a year, with whole-home heating commonly 800-1,500 gallons depending on climate, size, and insulation. Price is the EIA weekly state residential figure, prefilled and editable. The result is shown as a ±10% band, not a forecast — actual usage and price move with the weather and the market.

Common questions
How much propane does a house use in winter?
A whole-home propane furnace commonly burns 800-1,500 gallons over a heating season, more in cold climates and large homes, less in mild ones. Water heating and cooking alone are closer to 200-300 gallons a year.
How is the season cost estimated?
Typical seasonal gallons times your state's current price per gallon, shown as a ±10% band to reflect how much weather and price can move the real number. It is an illustration, not a forecast.
