Natural Gas And Propane Fueled Systems (Heating)

Natural gas and propane are popular energy sources for heating your home. Natural gas is environmentally friendly. When burned, it produces virtually no sulfur dioxide emissions and far lower levels of greenhouse gases and nitrogen. This "cleanliness" makes it a popular household energy source. However, natural gas is only available in some places.

Propane gas, on the contrary, is widely available and gaining popularity. It burns efficiently, is clean, and is relatively economical to run. Gas burners also require less maintenance than oil burners, making them more convenient.

It is cleaner than oil (for our environment, too)
Fuel costs are similar to oil
Replacement parts cost less than oil (typically)
Less yearly maintenance and upkeep
House requires less maintenance oil leaves sooty residue inside the house on walls)

Common Gas Piping Questions And Answers

Question - Clogged Pilot Orifice

Question: I have a Heil high-efficiency gas furnace. A few months ago, the inducer motor came on, but no hot air began to blow. I called the

repairman, who told me I had a clogged pilot orifice and that this was an unusual problem. Now I am concerned about two things:

1. What caused the problem in the first place?

The other question is, yes, it will likely happen again, but only once the furnace sits for the whole summer again. Because the furnace is not used over the summer months, you get a little condensation, which can cause the very thin orifice to clog up; this is not unusual and is nothing to worry about. If the repair person cleaned it out well enough, you would not have any more problems with it for the rest of this heating season.
2. Is this likely to happen again? I was home the last time this happened, so I caught the problem immediately. What if I'm not home and the inducer motor keeps running? Will it overheat? Is this dangerous?

The motor will not overheat. You do not need to worry about a thing.
