The primary distinctions between propane and natural gas lie in their energy content, delivery methods, and availability:
Energy Content: Propane has a higher energy content per unit volume compared to natural gas. This means that propane, when burned, produces more heat, making it an efficient fuel for various applications.
Delivery Method: Natural gas is supplied through pipelines directly to a meter at the side of your home. In contrast, propane is stored and transported in pressurized tanks or cylinders. This portability makes propane more versatile and suitable for use in areas where natural gas pipelines are not available.
