That's one of the reasons I said no to natural gas and went with propane.
Really to make natural gas ever be worth it I would have to have it installed which would run $1k to $2k, would have to get a natural gas heater which would cost at least $1,800 just to buy the unit not including the install, $500 for a natural gas water heater, up to $500 for a gas dryer and $600 to $1,200 for a natural gas stove.
That surcharge during the summer really eats up winter heating savings.
I'm going to keep the heat pump. I installed a wood and coal furnace, to reduce winter heating costs I have a gas dryer that I don't use I will convert it over to propane this is more of an off grid thing and want to get a propane stove.
So far I have three 100lb propane tanks I bought used and had filled for the price of 1 new tank filled.
Then this year I plan on also getting a little wood stove or pellet burner for the other end of the house.
