Propane. You don't own the tank. Some charge a rental fee.
Every time you change companies the tank has to be changed.
A charge to empty the tank. Another charge to remove the tank.
And big trucks driving on your nice lawn every time you change companies.
You can purchase the tank but that is about 2 grand just for the tank.Best to do a real cost analysis.
What is the actual payback.
You already have the infastructure for oil.
Now you are going to have yard dug up for piping.
Probably different venting.
The high efficiency ones usually reguire venting through walls.
If vents are not high enough - snow will cover them up - and a failure of system.
Do you have ducts for hot air?
Also check out BTU units. Propane is near the bottom.
A lot of money spent and for what in the end?

My comment is just on the highlighted part of the above comment.
I
own my gas tanks and get them filled by whoever I decide on obtaining my fuel from. I have changed several times without any questions. One company wanted it certified, but I had the paperwork showing that it was done 8 months ago and the next thing the tanks were all filled. (2-200 and 1-500 underground)
