if you had access to free natural gas how would you use it in your home . Were going to do gas furnace, fire place, dryer, and thinking of doing the gas tank less heaters. What else would you use it for or plumb your house for possible future uses?

I pay for propane for hw, stove and furnace. So clearly I'd use free natural gas yes.

I'd use it for everything I could as you stated. Heck I might even have gas lamps. roflmao

ceiling mounted heaters for your porch on those cold winter evenings would be nice.

I have a ( so cheap its pretty much free ) natural gas line to my home. I have a gas stove, a gas line ran to my wood burning fireplace, gas plumbed to the patio outside for a kitchen and pool.


I believe the water heater also runs off gas.


Its pretty dang handy to have.

A friend of mine had gas AC years ago. Lots of problems but they may have improved by now.

I had a NG air conditioner back in the late 90’s. Was great while it worked. When it broke, repair cost drove a replacement to conventional electric.

If it is free get some old Dearborn heaters instead of the efficient radiant type. The radiant type can be very problematic with all the safety features. An old Dearborn will be mostly trouble free.

Also natural gas grills are nice.

When we remodeled our kitchen we had them run the gas line from the dryer and replaced our Electric Range/oven/cook top with gas and love it. We also had them install a tankless heater in the attic above the garage and it is wonderful!!
