New house

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.

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

I'd hook into the pipeline and sell it. Full send.

Genrac industrial baby

Garage too.

A neighbor has a gas AC as well. First for me.

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.

Yes we will have a generator as well. I like the heaters on the porch,great idea. We're already tapped into the pipline

Plum for Outdoor kitchen, future pool heater.

The pool would be heated from the end of Summer until the beginning of Summer.

I'd never heard of it either but I googled it and sure enough it's a thing. I'd have that too

Yeah there's gas refrigerators as well , but iv never known anyone that has them

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

This ^^^ never have to pay an electric bill.
Also, heater, tankless water heater, dryer, porch heaters, fireplaces, gas lanterns on the outside, built in grill, built in gas fire pit.

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.

Gas fire pit, good call

Is that gas processed or scrubbed where you are tapped?

Becareful could House in CO did this including irrigation wells... a few went boom


But ya, every big appliance would be gas, including massive back up gen

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.

Its scrubbed I believe

Edit, its processed

Yep, I want to get one pretty bad.

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!!

I'm full of natural gas

Remember when they converted pickups to gas and had tanks in the beds. What type og gas was that?

Started out as Butane or LPG (50 60 70s) which worked pretty good but lost some power. You had to buy tax stamp and log , account for miles and pay more if you went over stamp mileage.

Then in 70 80 s they switched to propane another LPG (lower btu) power and mileage went way down. Ran hot and burned valves.

Now day they trying to use Compressed Natural Gas (4000PSI) in stainless steel fiberglass wrap tanks. Not enough CNG in bottles to be worth your time and they take up a lot of space.
Some people are giving CNG a try on local short routes but there are not many station around and you don't get many miles on fill up.

Some OTR truckers are using Diesel engines and engine management systems injecting about 50% CNG to engine under load. Their tanks are cryogenic LNG tanks and LNG is converted by vaporizer LNG to CNG for engine use. Sound very dangerous to me to put and 18 wheeler on ISHW with either CNG or LNG because of the nature of high compress gas (4000PSI) or LNG at -273 F.

I'd definitely have a line ran to my patio for a natural gas grill, never having to swap out bottles is a nice feature.

Big Iron outdoor gas feed Fire Pit that would glow red on a cold night..

It's the best not having to worry about that crap and having multiple bottles lying around.
