    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.
