If you choose LP don't run copper lines because if you ever decide to
run NG, you will have to replace all the lines. NG and copper don't
like each other. Remember also that you can't just switch lines and go,
all orifices on each device much be changed or you could have a fire. I
use LP and I lease the tank from the company for a one time fee of $50
and they come out whenever they feel like it and fill it up then send
me a bill. I'd like to switch over to NG just to get the big ugly tank
out of my yard but I have all copper pipes so I'd have to run all new
piping then change orifices on furnace, dryer and fireplaces. It's not
a fun project just to remove an eyesore. I like the independence also,
if the line is cut or shut off for some reason in the neighborhood, I
still have heat.

The gas company has lines about a hundred yards from where we're

tell
us what it's going to cost to bring it in to our property.

On the other hand, we could just go with LP gas.

My feeling is that I'd rather have natural gas even if it costs a bit
to get it initially. LP gas also has an initial cost for tank, etc.,
doesn't it?

Any ideas on what it's going to cost them to bring the natural gas
lines in to our property? Educated guesses?

And opinions on which we should go with, natural or LP?

Many thanks.
