New oil system is $8500, 83-86% efficient.

New propane system is $9300, 97% efficient.

Does that amount sound correct? They said it will take 1-2 days to completely do, whichever system we choose. (this is from Strogens, btw)

THANKS!

If you have a forced hot water system I would stick with oil. If you have forced hot air I would go with propane, JMO.
The propane burns cleaner but even though it has a higher efficiency it will cost more to heat with propane.
Does that price include the propane tank? If you get the tank from the propane Co you will pay for it either in a lease or through a higher propane cost.
If you own your own tank you can switch Companies when ever you want if you find a better deal, just like buying oil. It's makes it tougher to switch if you don't own the tank.
