I checked their website, but they just go by zipcode to see if it's in "your area", and that's a large area. I can't narrow it down by address because my address (street) does not show up with any mapping service.
Guess I'll start watching for those yellow pipes again and see how close I can find one and then start asking PSNC some questions........
Our neighborhood is just converting to natural gas, we are off of purnell road near stony hill - The line was run to stony hill (one of the last neighborhoods) and psnc will run lines to our neighborhood (just over a mile from there) for free if 25 people signed up for service.
It has taken a lot of work on the part of our neighborhood to get this into motion, but it may be worth it to call psnc and see if there is anything going on around your area. We asked all of the people who lived in the houses leading to our neighborhood (but not in a subdivision) if they wanted to switch over as well.
Thanks, Leigh! I was pretty sure I saw a yellow pipe some where along Stony Hill and maybe even on Purnell (as it heads towards Woodlief). I'll have to look again. That's a good idea, but we're about 5 miles further past Stony Hill / Purnell intersection. Doesn't hurt to try, though!!

Now is the time to ask, since they are coming to our neighborhood (covington ridge) it may be sooner than you think! Our contact person at psnc is Matt Koehl, and he is the one who did the feasibility study, etc. We are suppose to be "up and running" by the middle of september, and this has been about a 9 month process.
THANK YOU! That's just under 4 miles!!! I'm ever hopeful. Except---what about the conversion of appliances (hot water, stovetop, HVAC)? Is it expensive? However, I still think the payback period wouldn't be too long. We were on natural gas before moving here and didn't spend near the amount we spend in propane, even with dual fuel for heating.
How would I reach this guy? If you have his contact info, could you DM it to me? I'd sure appreciate it!
We converted from propane to natural gas last Fall.
You can typically convert your stovetop and HVAC from propane to natural gas by changing the regulators and orifices. If you are lucky, the person that installed the equipment left the original natural gas kit for you to use. If you are unlucky and they threw them way or took them with them, then you will need to order the natural gas kits.
If you have any gas fireplaces, you will need to convert those as well. I used the company that installed my fireplace to make the changes (the name of the installer was inside the access area of the fireplace). They ordered the parts and installed them.
You will almost certainly need to replace your hot water heater, as these are fuel-specific.
