Propane heat rather than natural gas
Where there is no gas main, heating runs on propane from an owned or leased tank, or on heat pumps with electric backup, or on a dual-fuel arrangement that switches between the two at a set outdoor temperature. Propane equipment is not simply a gas furnace with different fuel — orifice sizing and combustion setup differ, and a unit converted incorrectly runs badly and burns money. On dual-fuel systems the changeover setpoint is worth reviewing: set wrongly, the house runs on the more expensive fuel for weeks without anyone noticing.
