Yes! The Rebates are funded by three parties - the Province of Nova Scotia through the Natural Gas Market Development Fund, Natural Resources Canada, and Heritage Gas, the local natural gas distribution company. The Natural Gas Equipment Rebate Program is designed to encourage Nova Scotian residential and small business customers to convert to natural gas using the highest efficiency equipment available.

Yes, to convert from natural gas, NG, to LP, you must use vermiculite rather than sand and add an LP safety pilot. If you currently have an NG safety pilot, you need to change the orifice in the thermocouple and exchange the sand for vermiculite. We recommend contacting your local Hearth Technologies dealer to do the conversion for you. To change from LP to NG, you must change the pan orifice.

Yes and No. Only North American made barbecues. The more specific answer is that you can definitely convert almost any barbecue over to another gas, but the cost will be dependent upon the type and brand of barbecue you have. Some manufacturers offer conversion kits that make things relatively simple. The least you will get away with is replacing the gas hose and the valves in addition to any fittings you need to connect everything together. Side-burners can further complicate matters.

NO! Our propane patio heaters are designed, tested and approved for propane use only. Conversion kits are not available. Propane patio heater regulators supply 11" WC and natural gas requires 7" to 10" WC. Also, propane gas line tubing is made of copper and natural gas requires stainless steel.

Some log sets can be converted using a different pilot safety kit. Vent-free logs set come as a specific model for Natural or Propane.

Hayward heaters can be converted to use NG or LP. The heater may require a new gas valve, burner orifices and/or air restrictor plate upon conversion. Hayward offers conversion kits through your local Hayward dealer. A licensed or certified gas professional will need to perform the conversion.

No, SkeeterVac's are designed and certified for use only with a 20-pound propane gas tanks.  Conversion kits are not available. Any attempt to convert your grill is dangerous and will void your warranty

No, your Minden Master Gas Grill is manufactured to exact specifications and is certified for Liquid Propane (LP gas) use only. For your safety, conversion kits are not available. Any attempt to convert your grill is dangerous and will void your warranty. We will provide a Natural Gas version of the Grill if the market demands. Please let us know if you are interested in an NG version, email grill@mindengrill.com.

Under gas transportation, you will have the option of purchasing your supplies from Columbia Gas or from an alternative gas supplier. Columbia will continue to deliver the natural gas to your facility, but the purchase function will be handled by the company of your choice. This method of natural gas purchasing is similar to the telecommunications industry where you choose a long distance provider.

Natural gas may be stored in a number of different ways. It is most commonly stored underground under pressure in three types of facilities. The most commonly used in California are depleted reservoirs in oil and/or gas fields because they are more available. Aquifers and salt cavern formations are also used under certain conditions. The characteristics and economics of each type of storage site will dictate its suitability for use.

There are no transportation natural gas pipelines in the City of Bedford. There are numerous lines in Bedford that distribute gas which is suitable for home use.

No. Natural gas is a commodity and its price is determined by the market, based on several factors. When Nicor Gas buys gas on your behalf and delivers it to your home, we charge you exactly what we paid for it-we are not allowed to mark it up, by regulation of the Illinois Commerce Commission. The cost of natural gas makes up about 75-80 percent of your bill. The delivery charge makes up about 10-15 percent, and taxes make up the remaining 5-10 percent.

There are conversion kits available. Any conversion will be done at the user's own risk and negate the warranty coverage by the original manufacturer.

Only a qualified contractor should be used to remove old oil heating systems and install new natural gas equipment. Elizabethtown Gas provides expert heating installation service, as do other qualified contractors in the area. Check your local Yellow Pages for a listing of these contractors.

Your contractor must make arrangements for the decommissioning of your oil tank in accordance with all local and state code requirements. Just call us at 1-800-611-0480 or email gasadvantage@aglresources.com and one of our account managers will be able to determine if gas is available in your area.

Yes and No. Some gas companies offer special incentives for the installation of certain gas A/C systems. In some cases, special rates are also available for residential customers.

We have a competitive incentive. We are well aware that customers may choose alternate energy sources. We must compete daily with electric utilities and other alternative energy sources to provide our customers with safe, reliable, economical gas energy. We have a professional responsibility. Clearwater Gas System has been providing gas service since 1923.

Natural gas is primarily methane, which is a major greenhouse gas. Methane is emitted directly to the atmosphere from sources such as leaks in natural gas wells and pipelines and is produced in landfills, sewage treatment facilities and livestock operations. Other major greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxides are produced when natural gas is burned for heating and electric power production.

A-6: (2003_09_03) YES! While this is not officially "blessed" by Grand Hall and voids your warrenty, many people have done this and it works great. Read all about it in the Converting Member's Mark BBQ Grill from LP to NG section.

Yes, all Vermont Castings™ grills are able to be converted from Propane to Natural Gas. Also known as 'field fuel convertible'. Conversion MUST be performed by a licensed technician.

Sunshine Gas Grills are available in two different versions. The "LP" version comes with the required hose and regulator and properly sized orifices (the little gas jets) for LP gas. The "natural gas" version does not include a hose and regulator (they aren't required) and includes orifices sized for natural gas. If you already have a LP version and want to convert it for use with natural gas (or vice-versa), replacement natural gas orifices are available from your dealer at a cost of $19.

Natural gas is one of the safest forms of energy available. Because natural gas is 40% lighter than air, it will dissipate harmlessly into the air in the unlikely event of leak. Heritage Gas adds an odor, similar to the smell of a skunk or rotten eggs, to natural gas so that you’ll quickly know if there’s a problem. This allows even the smallest leaks to be detected, thus enabling repair situations to be identified immediately….your nose is your natural gas leak detector.

Heritage Gas is responsible for the local distribution of natural gas from the main pipeline to the meter at your home or business. You will have the option to purchase natural gas from us and in the future a gas marketer licensed by the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board.

As long as your supplier arranges delivery from the well to our distribution lines, we will deliver it to you from there. It will not affect Columbia. In fact, we want you to have the choice of purchasing your gas from other sources. There is no profit for us in the cost of gas. That cost is simply passed along to the customer dollar-for-dollar. Our income is derived from the delivery of gas to our customers, and that is not affected by who supplies the gas.

Converting natural gas to a liquid reduces its volume by about 600 to 1, which means one LNG tanker can transport enough LNG to equal 600 tanker ships carrying natural gas. Liquefying natural gas makes it feasible to transport natural gas by tanker and to store it in preparation for re-gasification and delivery to markets.

A large refrigeration system is used to liquefy natural gas by cooling it to about minus 260 degrees Fahrenheit.

Non-toxic liquefied natural gas is just another form of the same natural gas that heats our homes, fuels the new generation of cleaner power plants, and fuels our cleanest buses and other vehicles. The only difference is that it has been liquefied – turned from a gaseous state to a liquid state, just as water vapor turns into water – by chilling it, so that it can be safely and efficiently transported across the seas in double-hulled carriers.

EIA provides international natural gas prices for selected countries by sector (electric generation, household, industry).

In 2005, there were 18.2 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of dry natural gas produced in the U.S. The top producing states are:
