正在考虑是否upgrade为用气，在网上找到一篇文章，说是用电比用气煮食省钱至少一倍以上，请问各位用家是否可以列一下您家的电费或气费以及相应的炉子的能源类型以供大家参考。谢谢。

I know most people have a preference for using either gas or electric ovens. For those of you shopping for a new or used one to purchase, I thought I'd point out the basic costs of running them so you can weigh out the pros and cons using your local electricity or gas costs. I'll base this example on the two ovens I use; one is electric and one is gas (LP).

Electric ovens are rated in watts used per hour or KWH (thousands of watts per hour). So an oven that is rated at 11,000 watts uses 11 Kilowatts per hour or 11 KWH.
The electric company bases their charges on KWH, mine is $.057/KWH.
That means my electric oven costs 11 x $.057 = $.63 per hour to run.

Propane and Natural Gas ovens are rated in BTU/hour (here anyway). My LP oven uses 60,000 BTU per hour. It takes approximately 1 gallon of propane to burn 90,000 BTU. So my oven uses (60,000/90,000) .67 of a gallon of propane to run for 1 hour. Since propane cost me $2.19 per gallon, my running cost per hour is .67 x $2.19 = $1.46 per hour.

Of course these are approximates based on the manufacturer's specs, plus different ovens take longer to heat up than others and retain their heat more or less.
There you go.

    • I don't know which one saves more. But I want to point out something not right (at least in my opinion) in that article. -lihbea(今天你俯按撑了吗); 2009-7-9 {218} (#5404791@0)
      1) nature gas is way more cheaper than propane. and ususally at home we use nature gas instead of propane.
      2) if you take a look at hydro bill, you will find that the price will be doubled if adding all other charges.
    • 同意楼上的。你找的文章是写烤箱的，而且结论也有问题。一般用气比较便宜 -budongbudong(梦想中奖); 2009-7-9 (#5405542@0)
