Although that may sound limited, the great thing about a propane tank is you can use it on any equipment you own, and it gives you an excuse to buy something better.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pros for Natural Gas<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The name alone makes natural gas sound green.\u00a0 This gas burns hotter and is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/investopedia\/2012\/06\/13\/4-reasons-natural-gas-is-so-cheap\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cheaper by the unit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, than propane.\u00a0 It can be sent directly into your home via lines that ensure you&#8217;ll never have to worry about delivery.\u00a0 It&#8217;s more available in cities, where more people are, and it is better for getting a more predictable flame.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cons for Propane<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have to have it delivered, or pick it up yourself, to have it in your home.\u00a0 There&#8217;s no option for a direct propane line to go straight to your kitchen. Another problem is that propane can be a little more expensive depending on where you live and what company you support.\u00a0 The warning system for a propane system is at the end of your face- it ends up <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fosterfuels.com\/blog\/think-smell-gas\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">smelling like a rotten <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">egg, and could ruin any meal if there\u2019s even a small leak.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cons for Natural Gas<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Natural gas has a lot going on that isn\u2019t great.\u00a0 To start with, every single step of natural gas is terrible for the environment.\u00a0 Starting through fracking, and then ending up as pollution in the atmosphere, it&#8217;s not great for Earth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also not great for your wallet. If you&#8217;re working to save money, having a natural line of gas in your home, you&#8217;re staring at a ticking time bomb.\u00a0 Repairing a natural gas line to an appliance is $100-300 each, which means if you have a whole kitchen to fix or set up, you could be looking at a wallet breaker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Natural gas also burns up faster, which means that although it&#8217;s cheaper by the foot, you&#8217;ll be going through that amount more quickly than propane.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although they&#8217;re both gas, both used to cook your food, and both nationally famous, they&#8217;re very different products.\u00a0 Hopefully, after pouring over these options, you&#8217;ll be able to make an informed decision on what&#8217;s best for your household.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A big decision for any homeowner is what kind of fuel they&#8217;d like to use.\u00a0 Even though natural gas and propane have both been on the market for countless years, people have trouble picking, which is the best for them.<span class=\"ellipsis\">&hellip;<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"read-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/pros-and-cons-of-using-propane-in-your-home\/\">Read more &#8250;<\/a><\/div>\n<p><!-- end of .read-more --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":41,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wl_entities_gutenberg":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","spay_email":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"wl_entity_type":[602],"modified_by":null,"_wl_alt_label":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","wl:entity_url":"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl0502\/post\/pros_and_cons_of_using_propane_in_your_home","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21846"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/41"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21846"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21846\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21847,"href":"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21846\/revisions\/21847"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21846"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21846"},{"taxonomy":"wl_entity_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wl_entity_type?post=21846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
