we have a propane furnace here Sandy, since the carbon tax it has increased. 0.629/liter on Dec 30 now 0.7090 on Feb 13. its hard to say if its cheaper or not, I dont know. Our bill is alot higher than it was before I cant really see where the increase is though, maybe just the price/liter if I did the math.

We just had a fill of the propane tank for the furnace. We had 0.933/liter on Dec 12th and 1.11/liter on 13 Feb. Was actually lucky to buy when we did. The weeks before and since now it's more expensive again... Hmmm....

Ok..not to ruin anyone's day but i just got my tanks filled....58.8 cents/ litre....in my case, I would really look hard at the dollar value of the propane fridge..thats a huge capital outlay for an appliance...we run a full size AC refrigerator and full size freezer in our kitchen...we don't have a hydro bill as most of you know...the trade off is the capital cost and its not just the purchase price of the appliance but the install by a TSSA certified gas tech as well...then the ongoing propane usage...there's a few thoughts...as well, shop carefully ...major appliances run the gamut from total crap to excellent... :running-chicken:

Natural Resources Canada is tracking propane prices here:
http://www.nrcan.gc.ca/energy/fuel-prices/4801
In my experience, I use the London price and double it to be somewhere near what Superior is charging me for their propane. I guess I'll be shopping around a bit to see who else is delivering propane around here and what price they charge....

I'm just using their report to see if I can time the delivery to a time when they sell propane cheaper. Not sure I actually get that price forwarded or if they use a different calculation method.

Al, our propane here before Xmas was $.46 I believe. Maybe $.47 when I called in.

I haven't had to buy since Feb last year but it's coming next month.
We'll see.
