Both are highly flammable, so 100% shut off of both natural gas and propane are required in a closed in area- if that is what you are referring to.

Why does your door shut easier in the winter than in the summer?

in the summer, there is more humidity and it causes the wood to swell. When it is cold outside, the swelling goes down and it is easier to close the door without it rubbing against the frame. Heat expands everything, the doors and house included. When they expand the door will rub against the frame. When it's cold things will contract or constrict and therefore the door and house will shrink and be easier to open. ( The house will shrink but since there is a space where the door is the house won't shrink inwards at the door frame but when it expands it will close the gap of the door frame).

Why do propane and butane gas furnace require 100 percent shut off in the event of pilot outage?

Propane and butane gas furnaces require 100% shut off in the event of a pilot outage to prevent the accumulation of gas in the system, which can lead to potential fire or explosion hazards. Shutting off the gas completely ensures that no gas is released into the home when there is no flame to burn it off safely.

Is it legal for a propane company to shut off heat and hot water in winter months?

First of all I haven't seen a propane gas company shut off any gas going to your home because most homes that run on propane have a tank and if you don't pay your bill then they won't come and fill it. Natural gas companies will shut off your gas and unless its your only way of heat and you have children living inside then they can not shut off your gas in cold winter months but you will still be charged for those months and might include interest so its best to always pay your gas bill and if you are struggling with money then try to keep your home heated to the minimum degrees you can comfortably like instead of your home temp being 74* f try keeping it around 68 or 69*f.

Which type of BBQ Grills are the most economical?

I believe that the most economical BBQ grill would have to be propane. The use of propane makes sense because they heat up the quickest and can be shut off immediately after use. Propane as a gas is somewhat inexpensive, still comparable to what you would use with a charcoal unit. The only real downside to propane is that you don't get the same taste as you would with a charcoal grill. Propane, to the best of my knowledge, outsells charcoal by far as it is easier to use, doesn't require multiple steps to start and can be used by virtually anyone. Propane grills are usually larger too, and can accomodate more food at one time, and can have different temperatures from one side to the other much easier than you would with charcoal. The cheapest types of grills are hibachi's and kettle type grills which can be bought for around 20$. Gas grills are the most convenient and cheapest to fuel though. Many people prefer the taste of charcoal.

How to Tell If You Need a Propane Generator?

Propane generators have several advantages over other types of generators like gasoline generators. For one thing, propane is actually less flammable than gasoline. As long as propane does not mix with the air, it cannot be set on fire. Gasoline, on the other hand, is more flammable than propane because gasoline does not need to be mixed with air in order to catch on fire. Thus, gasoline can explode more readily than propane. Propane also burns cleaner than gasoline and natural gas, of which propane is a derivative. In many ways, propane represents a far better choice as a source of fuel than gasoline. How can individuals tell if a propane generator is right for them? Most generators only work with an external supply of propane, so the larger the propane tank, the longer the generator will last. Most people probably would be better off with a propane generator if they have a home to run. In large rural areas, utility companies often do not have automatic supply hook-ups installed, so electricity and other utilities might be hard to come by. A propane generator with a large tank can provide a continuous supply of electricity to a home. As long as the tank is refilled in a timely fashion, there is no reason why the power should ever be shut off. Even if the generator does not need to be used as the primary power source, it can still be used as a highly-effective backup power supply if the main power source was suddenly to fail without warning. This is where a large underground reserve propane tank comes in handy. If the tank is sufficiently large, it can provide power for days until the main supply is up and running. People need a propane generator if they need a power supply that cannot be interrupted for any reason. In rural areas, most people think they need a battery supply, but the truth is a propane generator can suit them fine. The biggest thing to remember is the advantages a propane generator has over gasoline or natural gas. It burns cleaner, is less likely to burst into flames, and can easily be used to produce electricity.


i am looking for a natural gas manual timered valve that will shut off the gas after a selected amount of time so that when forgotten to shut it off, it will time out and...shut off! ive seen these at campgrounds for showers.?

call your natural gas co. and ask. Natural gas is not something that the novice should be doing. And there are regulations with the kind of system you have in your community. SAFETY IS A GOOD THING.
