Another happy customer! Anyone else in the central Iowa area needs help lowering their heating and cooling bills let me know /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif! You are right Rudd they have come a long ways with better compressor, loop, and unit control designs.

What is everyones thoughts on going all electric?
Think the electric cost over time will even out with LP?
Have a chance to change everything out to electric and might do it.

I'm not exactly sure how they relate, but I have noticed the price of water heaters greatly differ between electric and LP. The LP is generally quite a bit more expensive because of the gas valve assemble and the burner, but if you look at the annual run cost it doesn't take long for the electric water heater to pass up the cost of the LP heater. In other words, from what I have seen it costs more annually to run an electric water heater as opposed to an LP or natural gas. Once again, I'm sure there are many factors to consider, this is just one I happen to have experience with.......unfortunately. /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cry.gif
 
Five ton Water Furnace with a 3000 foot loop in the bottom of my pond. Geothermal all the way...I heated with wood for 15 years.

I still burn an indoor fireplace through the Winter but now I'm 100 percent electric.

The efficency of Summer air conditioning still blows my mind with geothermal.

Just to clear up this matter, I am a LP salesman for Agriland FS in Winterset Iowa. There is no such thing as Farm use LP, farmers get a tax break when drying grain, which comes out to be about 2%. I would have to say that FS from Agvantage to Agriland and across the midwest have the same values and policies. We are a very fair company and there are definately no hidden cost or something like that in our contracts. So before you talk about something you dont understand ask questions, dont just make false statements like they are going to fill it for more next time. There is such a thing as a retail price and a contract, retail price is usually down in the summer and up in the winter. That is why FS contracts to take the spikes out of the market when you need your propane the most. Sorry that i am a little upset about this topic but i am very passionate about our company values. I have seen and heard of the horror stories of other companies, and I have heard and seen of companies that are very comparible to FS. Paying 3.85 a gallon is a rip off, some know who I am talking about, I would say FS is very fair.
 
Just for a fun fact. When you pay for LP you get 100% of what you pay for. With electric you only get about 33% of what you pay for.

Just to clarify.........You're telling me that if I pay a dollar a gallon for LP, the farmer down the road using it to dry his corn pays ninety eight cents?
