Enhance Your Home with the Natural Gas Advantage

You face many important decisions when you decide to build or remodel a home. Your home should be a place where you can relax and feel comfortable. By choosing a home with natural gas appliances, you'll find greater convenience, more value for your energy dollar, and more years of dependable service. Take a closer look at the many advantages of natural gas. We think you'll find a lot of comfort in them.

Home Heating

Homes heated with natural gas all feel alike - warm and draft-free. Even in the coldest weather you can rely on a natural gas furnace. A gas furnace delivers air from the vent at about 130 degrees F. Of all new homes built, over 70% use natural gas as the main central heating system. Gas furnaces not only provide comfort by bringing a steady flow of warm air, they also heat your home faster while using less energy. And the life of a gas furnace is two times that of an electric heat pump. Additional features such as pilot-less ignition and zone heating make natural gas the right choice for heating your home.   So stay warm and comfortable with a natural gas furnace. It is the economical way to heat your home!

Water Heating

If you're waiting too long for hot water, or even worse, you're running out of hot water too soon, a natural gas water heater is the right choice for you. Whether you're bathing or washing dishes, you want hot water fast and plenty of it. Gas flames provide instant heat, which means a gas water heater heats more water per hour than an electric water heater.  Today's gas water heaters are more efficient than ever, using 35 percent less gas than older models.  That's a significant savings when you consider that water heating is the second largest energy user in the home.  So enjoy relaxing hot showers with a natural gas water heater! 

Ranges and Ovens

Natural gas ranges respond to your touch instantly, giving you total control. With a gas flame there's no waiting for the burner to warm up or cool down and the cooking stops as soon as you turn off the burner. Foods can cook faster and more evenly with natural gas. The pilot-less ignition of newer models eliminates the need for a standing pilot light. This means that the flame burns only when the gas is turned on, cutting your gas usage by about one third.  So cook with the natural gas advantage - you can enjoy great food in less time.

Clothes Dryers

With the natural gas advantage, clothes dry faster and more evenly as a result of better temperature control from the natural gas flame.  Natural gas clothes dryers can provide significant cost savings without sacrificing performance or features. New high-efficiency gas dryers feature pilot-less ignition, automatic shut-off, sensor controls, de-wrinkling cycles and automatic cooling-down cycles. These features are all designed to save you money.  So use a gas clothes dryer and keep your laundry looking better than ever!

Fireplaces

Today’s gas logs and fireplace inserts are engineered to provide fuel-efficient, fuss-free flames at the flick of a switch. You can enjoy a cozy fire instantly, when you want it, and with a natural gas fireplace, there’s no wood to buy, haul, or store, which means less hassle for you, without the mess.  In addition to instant gratification, today’s natural gas fireplaces have no negative impact to air quality. Gas fireplaces give you instant warmth, at your fingertips! Guilt-free!

Gaslights

Gaslights operate without electricity so even during power outages their comforting glow endures. They offer security and add a warm welcome home in entryways and driveways, on patios and decks, and near pools and garden areas. Gaslights don't attract insects, making them ideal additions near natural gas barbecues, as well as outdoor dining and entertainment areas. Today's gaslights are also energy smart. For just pennies a day, you'll enjoy the illuminating equivalent of a 100-watt electric bulb. Some gaslights have automatic daytime dimmers, so the burner system reacts to outdoor light levels and responds beautifully from gentle, "barely there" illumination during the day, to a bright steady glow at night.
