Heating Your Home: Propane vs. Natural Gas

When you decide what type of gas you want to heat your home, your choice depends on a couple of different but important factors.

Whether you’re building, renovating, or planning to buy a house, these are essential things you should know. Learn more about heating your home with propane vs. natural gas.

Safety

As you weigh the pros and cons of propane and natural gas, you must also consider the safety of both options. Propane and natural gas are highly flammable and dangerous fuels that people must handle with care.

Large-scale companies oversee the natural gas pipelines, weakening communication between departments and consumers. Moreover, because there is much more surface area to cover with gas pipes, probable dangers can go unnoticed until it’s too late.   

The likelihood of any danger or lack of communication substantially diminishes with propane. You only have to consider your specific propane tank, not the many gas pipes running through the country.

You’ll work with smaller companies who can meet you face-to-face and help you decide your tank size and propane delivery options. The personable connection is a valuable aspect that large-scale natural gas companies can’t provide.

Price

When it comes to heating your home with propane vs. natural gas, your biggest concern is likely the price. The price depends on which gas is a better fit for your home, but we’ll touch on that later. When comparing the price, you should know that you’ll generally pay less for natural gas.

However, there’s a catch. You’ll need to use more natural gas than propane when heating your household, meaning that while propane is more expensive, it’ll use less fuel because it burns more efficiently.

Accessibility

You need to configure which gas is more accessible for heating your home. For example, natural gas pipelines are more common in Texas, Louisiana, Wyoming, and the surrounding areas. Propane is a popular option in the Northeastern United States, especially since gas lines are less common in that region.

Regardless of where you live, you must factor in the most common method of heating in your area. This will significantly impact your choice between propane or natural gas.
