After working in the gas industry for the past year, and learning the differences between natural and LP gas, I wouldn't use LP appliances unless absolutely necessary....tend to use our electric heat pumps, etc, before even turning on propane furnace.
Oh please fill us in on the mysteries of propane.
100,000's RVs not taken in to account the millions of S&B homes using propane
:H
No mystery...propane is heavier than air and collects in low places. Natural gas has a very small gas to air explosive point compared to propane and is lighter than air which allows it to dissipate. If I had a S&B, it would never again have propane...natural gas is much safer.
Knowing what we know now....I would not choose propane unless I had no choice...like in our RV. JMHO.
Also, the combustion of propane produces more condensation (H2O) than natural gas which results in corrosion of non-noble metals. Rust and oxidation in layman's terms. We have replaced the igniter in our home GE oven three times in eight years due to this issue. GE's answer to our complaint was to tell us to buy a stove with an electric oven next time.
