“Can I convert my natural equipment to propane (or vice versa)?”

The bottom line: it is often cheaper (not to mention safer) to buy new equipment than it is to properly convert one that is designed for use with another fuel. If a conversion kit is available for a specific type of equipment that you’re interested in, make sure the conversion work is done by licensed technicians so that all needed adjustments can be made prior to connecting and using your appliance.
