How to Convert to Natural Gas
Switching to natural gas is easy. And the investment you make will quickly be recovered through the savings you'll see.
Following are a few of the steps you may experience when you request to connect natural gas to your home:
- Service Line Installation - WPS provides a portion of the service line — the pipe that runs between the gas main and meter. If additional portions of service line are needed, you will be responsible for the charge. Contact WPS at 800-242-9772 to discuss your options and costs.
- Excess Flow Valve - WPS installs an Excess Flow Valve (EFV) on all new residential gas service lines. This valve is designed to limit the flow of natural gas automatically if a service line is severed.
- Re-piping, Correcting Safety Hazards and Converting Appliances to Natural Gas - WPS encourages you to select a contractor who follows all code requirements when converting to natural gas.
- Heating Equipment Estimates - WPS suggests getting two or three estimates when considering the replacement of your furnace.
