1 gallon of propane is about 90,000 BTU/hour. A 20 lb tank holds a little more than 4 gallons. My patio propane fireplace is 60,000 BTU. At full blast, a 20 lb tank will last about 6-7 hours, which is really close to the calculation. 32 people found this useful.
Air source heat pumps can be expected to achieve 12-18 years while A/C units may last 15-20 years. Ground source heat pumps should achieve an 18-25 year life. Gas and oil furnaces will likely have life expectancies of 15-25 years. Boilers may range from 15 years to well over 30 plus years. The area the units are installed (basements, craw space, attic, etc) will play a factor as well as the demand and usage placed on the equipment. The most important aspect to long life is the quality of the initial installation of the equipment. more.
