I've considered a whole home as well but the issue, as you know from two years ago, NG is apparently not as reliable in Texass as we've thought it is.
All of the NG units can operate on propane.

BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT

You have to change the orifice for it to work. On the larger units, this is a valve and can be changed easily. On the smaller units, you have to remove or re-install the smaller propane orifice.

IF you run on NG with propane orifice, you will run lean and might burn up a piston! If you run propane on a NG orifice, you will "flood" the system running rich. It might run (poorly) and produce lots of carbon buildup.
