        I never really thought about it until this discussion. I’m used to propane tanks for people who live in the country

          Exactly. There are propane tanks in areas where there aren’t fixed pipes to deliver natural gas. Once those are installed, people switch to the cheaper option.

          This is a big deal because right now heat pumps are almost always cheaper than propane, but not cheaper than natural gas.

            No I meant there are still houses here that use propane, I was looking at one on Monday, smack dab in the middle of town

              All I can say is that this is very uncommon. Either that location never got a natural gas hookup, or something unusual is happening.
