Natural gas connects directly to utility lines and provides unlimited fuel supply at lower operating costs. Propane uses individual tanks that require periodic refilling but offers more flexibility for remote locations without gas service.
Natural gas installations require coordination with PG&E for meter connections and service activation. Propane systems need proper tank placement, safety clearances, and different fittings designed for higher pressure operation.
Both systems require professional installation for safety, but natural gas typically offers better long-term value for homes with utility access. We can help you determine which option makes the most sense for your specific situation and location.
Yes, when installed properly using California-approved materials and techniques. Modern gas line installations include flexible connections, proper burial depths, and automatic shut-off valves that enhance safety during seismic events.
California building codes specifically address earthquake safety for gas installations. We use corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST) and other approved materials that can flex with ground movement without breaking or leaking.
Regular maintenance and inspection of gas lines help ensure continued safety. We recommend annual checks of connections and immediate attention to any gas odors, unusual sounds, or other warning signs that might indicate problems.

Many homeowners prefer permanent gas connections over propane tanks for convenience and cost savings. Once installed, you never have to worry about running out of fuel during a backyard gathering or hauling heavy propane tanks for refills.
