Typical household uses for natural gas would be furnaces, water heaters, and stoves. Less typical would be clothes dryers or refrigerators. Some people have outside gas fittings for gas barbecue grills

Industrial applications for natural gas are HVAC systems and "peak load" electrical power generation. Natural gas is really too expensive to be used for "base load" power generation; that's more the role of coal or oil.

The main differences between a natural gas and propane range are the type of gas they use and the pressure at which the gas is delivered. Natural gas ranges use methane gas from underground pipelines, while propane ranges use propane gas stored in tanks. Additionally, natural gas is delivered at a higher pressure than propane, which can affect the efficiency and performance of the range.


What is the difference between a propane stove and a natural gas stove?

The main difference between a propane stove and a natural gas stove is the type of gas they use. Propane stoves use propane gas, which is stored in tanks, while natural gas stoves use natural gas that comes through a pipeline. The two gases have different compositions and pressures, so the stoves are designed to work with their specific gas source.
