Gas central heating units are the most frequently installed types of appliances that provide heat to homes and offices. The other options of fuel for these appliances are heating oil, kerosene, coal, wood, and electricity. None of these fuel sources can compare to the mains gas in price, reliability, or efficiency.
Gas central heating units are almost always chosen by individuals that have the access to mains gas. The fuel is readily available and the home owner does not have to worry about running low on their supply of fuel. Coal, heating oil, wood, and propane gas all have to be delivered by the company that sells then to the homes of the customers that need them. When a customer realizes that their supply of fuel is getting low they call the company and schedule a delivery of the item. If the home owner misses the fact that they are low on fuel they could run out of it unexpectedly.
When you run out of the fuel you need to operate your central heat appliance then you could be in trouble. There are times when the weather is so bad that the suppliers have a difficult time getting the materials to the customers. This happens frequently in really cold weather. Other times the suppliers may be so busy that it will be one or more days before they can get to your order. During the time you are waiting on the suppliers you are without heat inside your home. Gas central heating units that rely on mains gas for fuel do not have the delivery complications the other fuels have.
When you allow your unit to run out of propane then you will have to pay the company that delivers the tank full of propane to you to do a pressure test on the lines. The service person from the company will test the lines to ascertain whether or not there are any leaks.
Gas central heating units are also purchased because the price of this fuel is far less than some of the other types that are frequently used in these appliances. Lowering the cost of heating and cooling the home is often why people switch to a central unit appliance to begin with.
Out of all of the different fuels the mains gas burns more efficiently and cleaner than the rest. You will have fewer odors from your fuel source inside your home. You will not have a mess left behind from storing your fuel like you have when you use wood or coal to power your unit.
You will generally pay a monthly service charge to the company that provides the mains gas instead of having to purchase your power source by the load. Coal and wood are purchased by the load while heating oil is purchased by the gallon. Kerosene is purchased by the gallon and so is propane. You have to pay for these other items in lump sums when they are delivered. At times it can be difficult to come up with the cash to pay the company for the items. Monthly bills allow you to budget a set amount into your household budget to cover the charges. This is more convenient for most people.
