Propane is often associated with fueling grills. This clean burning gas is also utilized in the home as a source of power for different items. Because it can be a cheaper option than electricity, gas appliances have also gained it popularity. These are some of the items to consider when choosing to add gas as part of the home.
One item to consider is the type of appliances to be powered by propane gas in Madison. The most common appliances are the furnace, stove, and fireplace. Since these typical appliances are located in different areas of the house, the gas piping will have to be run in multiple areas. The appliances will also need their own shutoff valves so they can be isolated for maintenance. The appliances may also determine how much gas is used on a monthly basis.
Another item to consider is whether or not to install a propane tank. This will depend on the location of the home and the access to propane lines. If this access is not readily convenient, a tank needs to be considered. The size of the tank will depend on how many systems are being fed from it. It will also depend on how big of a tank the property itself can handle. There are city requirements to be met in regards to the tank placement.
Future upgrades of gas appliances should also be considered. Any upgrades will require individual gas piping to be run along with individual shutoff valves. Since the amount of propane gas in Madison will increase, the tank size may have to increase to accommodate the new demands. If not on a tank system, the size of the gas lines may have to increase to keep up with the extra demand. Extra lines can be installed before the appliances are bought.
Propane gas is a cheap energy option. Converting to a gas system does require a little thought. The current demands from appliances, the future usage, and determination if a tank is needed should be considered when converting to gas.
