I would not switch to propane. As previously mentioned, even with 92% efficiency I think its more expensive than oil. My main residence has FHW by oil and is 1900 SF compared to ski house in Bartlett at 1400 SF heated by propane. Only use the ski house on weekends in winter, kept at 55 all the time and when in the house on weekends use the pellet stove for heat. In the main residence Sunday evening through Friday morning. It cost about the same keeping propane heat at 55 in Bartlett for smaller space compared to keeping main residence at 64 for larger space and still need to buy 1 ton of pellets in addition to propane so it really is more to heat Bartlett than main residence when you add in pellets.
