Stoves, dryers, furnaces, etc., are designed to be converted for either fuel. Water heaters are not. In fact the thermostat on an LP gas heater is intentionally manufactured so it cannot be used on a natural gas water heater, and vice versa. A natural gas WH can NEVER be converted to propane.Click to see full answer. Hereof, can natural gas water heaters be converted to propane?Sorry, but you can’t convert gas water heaters from natural to propane or vice versa. You’ll have to buy a new propane gas water heater. (You can convert furnaces, stoves, etc., however.)Additionally, are gas and propane water heaters the same? Natural gas water heaters heat water more efficiently than electric water heaters. Natural gas develops naturally, while propane must be pumped, separated and distilled. Propane heats water just as well as natural gas, but is not as cost-effective. Keeping this in view, what happens if you use propane on a natural gas water heater? The reason for this is because natural gas orifices are larger than propane orifices strictly because of gas service pressure. Conversely, trying to use a propane appliance with natural gas will likely result in a very small flame or no burner flame at all because of the lower pressure gas and the smaller orifice.Can you switch from propane to natural gas?Most propane furnaces, fireplaces and some stoves can be converted to natural gas by simply changing the orifice. Hot water tanks vary in their conversion capabilities. In order to convert your heating and appliances, please consult with a licensed heating contractor or plumber.
