For most Saint Augustine homes, propane is the more common fuel choice. St. Johns County has limited natural gas utility coverage—TECO Peoples Gas serves portions of the City of Saint Augustine and select nearby areas, but most of St. Johns County including Palencia, World Golf Village, Nocatee, and Saint Augustine Beach relies on propane.
A whole home propane setup typically requires a 500 to 1,000 gallon tank for multi-day hurricane runtime—essential on Florida’s east coast where Hurricane Matthew and Irma both caused prolonged outages. Where natural gas is available, it’s still the better choice when feasible: unlimited runtime, no tank to refill. During your free GenerX estimate, we confirm natural gas availability at your specific address and walk through both options.
