Converting to Natural Gas
Switching to natural gas is easy. It may require a small investment on your part, but it
will quickly be recovered through the savings you'll see month after month.
Following are a few of the steps you may experience when you request to connect natural
gas to your home:
- Service Line Installation - Michigan Gas Utilities
provides the service line — the gas pipeline that runs between the gas main and
the gas meter. Contact Michigan Gas Utilities
to discuss your options and costs. Call 800-401-6402 for
residential service.
- Excess Flow Valve - Michigan Gas Utilities 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, potentially reducing personal and/or property damage caused by the severing of a gas service line.
- Re-piping, correcting safety hazards and converting appliances to natural gas -
Michigan Gas Utilities is very safety and code conscious. We encourage you to select a contractor who follows all code requirements when converting to natural gas.
- Heating Equipment Estimates - Michigan Gas Utilities
suggests getting two or three furnace estimates when considering the replacement of your furnace.
