gas appliances

Propane-powered home equipment

Gas appliances are household devices that burn natural gas or propane as fuel—stoves, ovens, water heaters, furnaces, dryers, and fireplaces.

The term typically appears in contexts of home inspection, safety regulations, or utility hookups: The inspector checked all gas appliances for leaks.

Distinguished from electric appliances, which serve similar functions but draw power from the grid.
