Amount of Fuel to Generate 25 Million BTUs

1 ton of Premium Anthracite Coal

200 gallons of Fuel Oil

300 gallons of Propane

1.8 tons of high quality Wood Pellets

8,325 Kwhr of Electric resistant heat

how much money can I save?

If I am heating with fuel oil and use 600 gallons in a normal winter, how much money can I save by switching to Pennsylvania Premium anthracite coal?

Assume the cost of fuel oil is $5.00/gal. The cost of Premium Anthracite coal is $375/ton (bulk) or $440/ton (bagged)

1 ton of Premium Anthracite coal produces the same amount of BTUs as 200 gal. oil, so you would use 3 tons of Premium Anthracite coal in a normal winter to replace the 600 gallons of fuel oil.

3 tons BULK coal @ $375/ton = $1,125 per winter

3 tons BAGGED coal @ $440/ton = $1,320 per winter

600 gal. oil @ $5/gal = $3,000 per winter

You would save $1,875 using BULK anthracite per winter.  You would save $1,680 using BAGGED anthracite per winter
