However, using natural gas for my(3)new furnaces isn't a viable option as a fuel according to Columbia Gas Co. This is why we are requesting permission to use Liquid Propane for this function.If and when the moratorium on NG is ever lifted, we will be set up to convert over to NG,eliminating the duel usage. Thank you for the assistance and help.
