Many years ago, I moved out into the country and built my house using propane. Now, natural gas has come into my neighborhood and I would like to eliminate the propane, the tank and the overpriced service for my house.
I called the local gas provider who instructed me that I need to give them a pressure and total BTU requirement. I guess I can find BTU numbers on my furnaces, hot water heaters, dryer, cooktop and pool heater. Any idea what pressure I need or how I can find that out?
I am guestimating that I will need $200 per appliance to have someone change nozels for natural gas. Perhaps a good HVAC man could do it all for less.
Are there other gotcha's that I need to be aware of in this process?
