What’s the difference?
LPG is short for liquefied petroleum gas which is either propane or butane with a heat content of 93.2MJ/m3. Natural gas is however primarily methane and has a heat content of 38.7MJ/M3.
Natural gas is delivered to homes via gas pipelines underground. LPG is delivered in propane tanks similar to the ones you use for a BBQ. LPG is heavier than air, but natural gas is lighter. This makes LPG leaks more dangerous.
What a lot of people do not realise is you need a separate qualification to work on LPG systems which many gas safe engineers do not have. At Nixon’s however we do have various LPG and natural gas qualified heating engineers.
