The homes not using gas have increased in number by the present age and all electrification.
Although it seems that there were inconvenience and a problem when [ various ] appearing and building, it is becoming quite good now.
But the home which uses gas still more in fact is a large majority.
the gas used at home -- fundamental -- two kinds, propane and town gas, -- it is .
Since there are many people that a difference is not known well, it explains briefly.

First, propane can be used also at the home of a fundamental throat.
The big gas cylinder has been seen located in a line with the reverse side of a house.
Gas is contained in that and it is used, drawing in my wife.

Town gas supplies a gas pipe underground at through each home.
When a faucet is twisted, it is the same system as the waterworks out of which water comes.
Therefore, it cannot use in the area where the gas pipe is not being pulled underground.

Next, it is about each difference.

Apparatus, such as a gas stove which can be used first, is different.
Only the instrument for town gas and the instrument for propane in propane can use town gas fundamentally.
Furthermore, town gas may differ in the apparatus which can be used by an area.
Since the accident of gas is very dangerous, please do not use by any means what not suiting.

Next, the character of gas is different.
Since propane is heavier than air, it collects downward.
conversely, since town gas is light, it is alike and collects on a ceiling.
Therefore, when attaching a gas leak alarm, let's attach to the right position.

A gas company differs from it.
The company of town gas cannot choose.
It becomes only the town gas company which supplies in the area.
Propane can be chosen.
It is said that there are 20,000 or more companies of propane all over the country.

It is the former this time.
Each merit and demerit are explained next time.
