PNG Vs LPG: The Better Choice

LPG, the traditional form of gas connectivity, is slowly finding itself battling the increasing popularity of PNG connection for homes. Cost usually plays a major role in closing in on the final word. However, for something as critical as gas connection, safety and maintenance are also gaining foothold in the decision making. If you’re someone who uses LPG at home and wants to move to PNG or are confused between the two, here are a couple of facts that may help you with your decision:

Difference in composition

LPG contains propane and butane, gases that are heavier than air. This means that if the gases leak, it will settle down to create a vapour cloud that is at risk of explosion if ignited. PNG contains methane, a gas lighter than air. With a high dispersion rate, the methane gets quickly dispersed in the air. Methane, however, is as flammable as the other two gases.

Cost & Maintenance

PNG is more cost effective than LPG and is also easier to work with in long run. For LPGs, it is recommended to switch off the root valve at night after use to be on the safer side, whereas for the PNG connection it is optional. Highly convenient and less risk during handling, PNG becomes the preferred option among the two due to lower rates and convenience associated with easy maintenance. These reasons have been instrumental in the widespread popularity of PNG connection in Khurja and similar cities powered by Adani Gas.

Something as delicate as a gas connection needs to be set up efficiently and maintained properly to avoid leakages as well as wastage. Periodic checks are mandatory for both. Thoroughly evaluating your needs, your availability, and the facilities in your home can help you make a better decision.
