    Natural gas water heater to propane?
    Hi there,
    I have a 75 gal water heater.
    The propane gas guy said that it was natural gas even though it came from a church that was using propane. And they had it set up for propane. Is that a possibility? And is it safe?

    Conversions are generally easy.

    This link should answer your questions:

    HowStuffWorks "When buying gas appliances, why do you always have to specify whether you are using LPG or natural gas?"

    Propane burns about 2x hotter than natural gas.
