Expert compares gas and kerosene heating costs
Energy expert Hashim Aqlal revealed that heating costs using gas and kerosene heaters mainly depend on the duration of operation, the heater's power, the size of the room, and the fuel consumption rate. A standard 12.5-kilogram gas cylinder, which currently costs around 7 dinars, lasts approximately 3 to 5 days when the heater is operated for 6 to 8 hours daily, resulting in a daily cost of about 1.75 dinars if it’s consumed over four days. As for kerosene, a 20-liter can costing roughly 11 dinars consumes between 0.3 and 0.5 liters per hour, and operating it for six hours daily costs approximately 1.65 dinars, with variations depending on the heater's consumption rate and the number of hours used. Ultimately, it is clear that the renewal of costs varies from home to home and depends on several factors, not just the fuel price.
