Just curious if $40 per month would be worth it in this case. I know I'm getting one installed at my house, but once again I pay for gas to heat my hot water year round already.
I'm not sure what you mean by "is this really that easy to get run?" Do you mean - will the builder run the gas lines for you? They should - it was one of the options that was available on my condo (and it's in a high rise building down town). But, as far as how much gas it uses - it is negligable. You shouldn't notice much of a difference on your gas bill - especially considering you will be using it mostly in the summer. Anyway, it's well worth it - you never have to worry about running out of propane in the middle of a barbeque. As for my condo, the condo fees haven't gone up because of the gas barbeque (and my son uses it daily during the summer) - I think they realize that not much gas is used.
