Natural gas takes a fraction of a second longer to ignite
than towns gas.
After conversion the price of gas is reduced by ½d per
therm for all customers and those using gas for central
heating can apply for the new Gold Star Tariff which
reduces the price by a further 1½d per therm.
If, during the programme of conversion, the Board
converts a customer's appliance to bum natural gas and
subsequently the customer moves to an area where towns
gas is supplied, the Board, at the new address will undertake
to convert an appliance from natural gas to towns gas
burning in order that the customer may continue to use them.
Should a customer move from a towns gas area into an area
to which natural gas is being supplied the necessary
conversion of appliances will be undertaken by the Board.
Under these circumstances no charge will be made to the
consumer."
