My take is that oil vs propane is pretty much a wash so converting from one to the other will take from a long time to infinity to pay off. My concern about propane is the Kaboom factor. While it is rare for a propane heated house to blow, it does happen. I have never heard of a house blowing up from #2 oil fumes.

You don't hear about propane blowing up all that often. There have been a number of Natural Gas explosions lately though. There is a big difference between the two in terms of delivery method (LP = tank, NG = line from the street).
