Q: Can I convert my existing natural gas furnace to propane?

• <div><p>Some natural gas furnaces can be converted to propane with a conversion kit, but not all models are compatible. Consult a licensed HVAC pro to determine if conversion is possible and cost-effective for your system.

Q: Can I convert my electric dryer to a gas dryer?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to convert an electric dryer to a gas dryer, but it&rsquo;s not practical or cost-effective. A pro would need to remove specific components from your electric unit and install parts unique to gas dryers.

Q: Is a gas plumber the same as a plumber?

Left a slow leak under my kitchen sink. Came back 3 times and still didn't fix it. Shortly before Christmas 2023, Kevin said "I'll come myself, tomorrow at 10 a.m." Never heard back from him again. There is a puddle under my kitchen sink. Incompetent and unprofessional.
