How do Natural Gas and Liquid Propane compare?

Advantages:

• Usually has a lower purchase price than propane gas
• Lighter than air, dissipates into the atmosphere after combustion
• If your home already has appliances like a natural gas water heater or oven, natural gas logs will probably be an easy choice as your home is already set up for natural gas use

Disadvantages:

• Must be hard-piped to any appliance from a buried gas service line
• Natural gas service is not available in some areas

Advantages:

• Contains more carbon dioxide than natural gas and burns nearly three times hotter
• Can be operated independently of natural gas lines or appliances
• Can be used in areas where natural gas service is unavailable

Disadvantages:

• Generally more expensive than natural gas
• Usually requires installation of a dedicated tank outside of your home
• Often requires contracting with a propane dealer to refill your tank
