Home Energy Units Conversion Table

It seems to me that the most common units in which (US) home energy use is expressed are BTU's, Therms, Gallons of Propane, Kilowatt Hours, and Cords of Wood. When I try to analyze our own energy use, I found myself converting between these units. For the past few days I've been thinking that it might be good to have a simple table that focuses on the relationships between these units.

So, here it is:

If you have time and are so inclined, please take a look at the table and spot-check my entries. I'd appreciate hearing about any errors I made in setting it up.

Thanks!
