Why Natural Gas?
From helping save you money to saving valuable energy, natural gas provides many benefits:
Natural Gas is Better for the Environment
- Natural gas emits far less chemicals associated with acid rain, smog and greenhouse emissions than petroleum-based fuels
- Replacing a non-gas water heater with a natural gas tankless water heater prevents approximately 3,000 pounds of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere every year
- Natural gas is also a reliable partner to electricity-producing renewables, like solar and wind
Natural Gas is Efficient
- Natural gas reaches you directly at more than three times the efficiency of non-gas energy
- While natural gas provides up to 90% usable energy, up to 78% of non-gas energy is already wasted by the time it reaches you
- Added efficiency means lower energy costs to boost your bottom line
Natural Gas is Economical
- Natural gas commercial appliances cost only half as much to operate as their non-gas counterparts
- Streamline your operations while reducing your costs
- Natural gas commercial equipment also requires less maintenance than its non-gas counterparts
Natural Gas is Reliable
- Natural gas is delivered via underground pipelines and provides nearly 100% reliable service
- Natural gas provides comfort and reliability — at a great price
- No matter the season or weather, natural gas is safe and reliable
Natural Gas is Domestic
- Over 97% of the natural gas used in the United States is produced in North America (approximately 84% is domestically produced while the remaining 13% comes from Canada)
- The direct use of natural gas can help reduce America’s dependence on foreign oil — working to keep over $1 billion energy dollars (and countless jobs) home every month
- America’s current natural gas supply is set to last well into the next century with a worldwide supply thought to be more plentiful than oil
