How many long term rentals did that net Burlington? I saw that law and thought it was a bad idea so I already have an opinion but do you know if there is data out there on its impact? I always prefer data over anecdote or opinion.

I’m trying to find data but can’t. I did find this though.

I have a 2 bedroom trailer and we use propane for heating and cooking. I want to say we spend about $1100 during the winter on propane. Summer is pretty low/non existent since its only for cooking and we normally have enough left over from winter to last the summer, may end up needing a fill in September/October. Just checked and each delivery is about 130 gallons and we get deliveries every 1.5 months. After some repairs each delivery is lasting a little longer but homes are alot different than trailers.

It's hard to put a correct number because theres alot of variants like super cold streaks, extra warm streaks, how well insulated your place is(mine had ALOT of water damage when bought), etc.

1800s farmhouse, not well Insulated just shy of 3,000 sq ft. Propane boiler for heat and hot water and we use it for our gas cooking range. We go through 3,000 gallons a year. Mostly all of that is the winter where we are getting about 400 gallons delivered every 3 weeks during the coldest parts.

Hopefully moving to Woodstove by next year as 6 years of this is getting old.
