I was unable to pay my pg&e bill and they shut off my gas. I'm not thinking of trying to use propane in place of natural gas for all of my gas appliances or anything. And I would only turn the propane on when I needed hot water for a shower or something and then I'd shut it off. It would only be occasionally if it is able to work.
Manufacturers will not sell a conversion kit, simply for the fact that it puts them at risk, if there is a failure. Some models in mobile homes used to have conversion kits, included, since it was not known at the time of manufacture, where the home would end up. Natural gas is a heavier gas, and the jets are larger than jets for LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) gases. LPG gas piping requires drip legs, that aren't usually found in natural gas piping. Your best, and cheapest bet, is to pay your bill! Good luck to you!
