Natural gas is the best and cheapest way to run the appliances in your home. Obviously you want to make sure you have things properly vented. That’s just common sense. I also have natural gas powering my furnace and instant hot water heater. After having moved from a home with heating oil, I’ve cut my utility costs by 2/3. I’m never going back.
Hot water and cooking via propane here. We heat the house with wood. Oh, the humanity! Or is that a huge manatee?
A few years ago I moved from Michigan where almost everything in natural gas to Maryland, where it’s a mix of gas, heating oil and electric.
Requirement number one for a house was natural gas. A friend has a very large house that’s all electric. He can barely afford to heat the place.
