LPG and natural gas serve similar purposes, but there are some important differences. Natural gas is mostly methane and relies on pipeline access – which limits where it can be used. LPG, mainly propane, is stored in cylinders, making it a flexible option for homes, businesses and off-grid locations.
One key advantage of LPG is its higher energy content. It burns hotter than natural gas, meaning you typically use less gas to achieve the same results.
Because each gas burns differently, appliances aren’t cross-compatible. However, many natural-gas appliances can be easily converted to LPG by a licensed gasfitter – it’s a common, straightforward process.
For households looking for a flexible, long-term energy solution, LPG offers a practical path forward.
