My beach property in Delaware uses propane for heat, fireplace, and stove. Water heater is electric. The house is new construction and was built to meet Energy Star requirements. The builder even did a blower door test on the house to make sure the amount of air leakage fell in the acceptable range for an Energy Star energy efficient home.
With that said, I've been surprised by how much the propane bill has been. Obviously we don't stay out there all the time yet the bill is about as much as my primary home with natural gas heat, stove, fireplaces, and hot water heater. I think the big problem is the development worked a deal with one of the local propane cartels and they put in the underground tank. So we're locked in to using them for our propane. No shopping around allowed.
