Propane vs. Electric for Tiny Homes: Which Is Better?

Tiny living becomes even more tiny when you add a camper or tiny home on wheels (THOW). Tiny homes that are on the road use natural gas or propane for heating, cooking, and powering their appliances.

So, if you are in the market for a new tiny home or building one from scratch, you will need to decide if you want propane or electric appliances. Both have their plusses and minuses and depend on what you are planning on using in your tiny home. Here are some things that you must know about propane vs electric for an informed decision.

The Heating Efficiency of Propane vs Electric

When comparing the efficiency of propane versus electric for tiny homes it can be a difficult decision. Propane is efficient for providing heat, making it an ideal choice for colder climates.

On the other hand, electric provides a higher level of efficiency. Also, it requires no specialized equipment for storage or transfer.

Electric heating systems are becoming increasingly efficient and offer more options for controlling and regulating temperature. In the end, it largely comes down to personal preference and the specific needs of the small home occupants.

Additionally, you must know about oil and gas valves. A knowledge of this will help you come up with a more efficient tiny home energy source.

A Comparison of Cost Efficiency

Propane and electricity are both good ways to power a tiny house. Which one is more cost-effective depends on a lot of things.

In terms of up-front costs, electric tends to be cheaper for a tiny home. Electric costs less up front to put than propane, which can cost a lot at first.

On the other hand, when it comes to operating costs, propane is generally cheaper. Since propane doesn’t need electrical wiring, the cost of installation may also be cheaper. Tiny homes can use a lot of electricity, and the cost of electricity might be too high for how much they use.

Also, many isolated areas don’t have access to electricity, so propane usage is the only option. In the end, doing some study and talking to a professional can help figure out which option will be the most cost-effective for a given tiny home.

Environmental Impact

In relation to environmental impact, electric is typically better than propane for tiny homes. Electric is powered by renewable sources in many areas, allowing for a lower overall carbon dioxide footprint. Additionally, electric produces less sound pollution, meaning electric is a quieter option for tiny home washing machines and dryers.

Propane, while a viable source of fuel for many tiny homes, produces more carbon dioxide than electric. Additionally, propane will require more frequent refills and emissions testing. For these reasons, electric is a more environmentally friendly option for tiny homes.

Choose the Better Option Between Propane vs Electric for Your Tiny Home

You may be in a dilemma whether you want electricity to power the appliances in your tiny house or opt for propane. Well, knowing the points above can help you decide better.

Propane is better for off-grid living, while electric is more efficient and better for indoor air quality. Consider your lifestyle and budget to help you decide whether to install propane vs electric in your tiny home.
