    Can you please describe what alterations you made to the heat pump so as to convert it from propane to natural gas?

    Many times you have to change gas valves when going from one gas to another and some gas valves have different stages that control different burners. You can wire the gas valve to have all stages fire at once or according to the t-stat, which is better. W1 is the first solenoid on gas valve marked sometimes as "W-1 or W-2." Then the other stages are W-2, W-3, etc. Actually, the first stage is the reversing valve either dropping out or pulling in. If the reversing valve is wired to "O" it drops out for heat and pulls in for cooling. If wired to "B" it is the opposite.
