Save Energy & Money

Naturally Efficient.
According to the Energy Information Association, about 91 percent of the natural gas produced at the wellhead is delivered to customers as useful energy. In contrast, only about 27 percent of the energy converted to electricity reaches customers.

Today’s natural gas appliances are more efficient than ever.

Natural gas heating

• Enhanced comfort with duct air temperature up to 23 degrees warmer – your heater runs less frequently using natural gas, and your home feels less “drafty”
• Natural gas systems last up to twice as long as heat pumps

Natural gas water heating

• Heats water twice as fast as electric water heater
• Produces half the carbon emissions of an electric counterpart

Natural gas clothes drying

• Dry clothes twice as fast- faster, fluffier, friendlier
• Lower annual utility costs over electricity
• Annual CO2 emissions reduced by 65 percent

Naturally Clean.
Natural gas is cleaner and cheaper than your alternatives – here’s why:

• The natural gas consumed by 70 million homes and businesses accounts for less than 6 percent of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions
• Natural gas is the lowest carbon emitting fossil fuel, emitting 45 percent less carbon dioxide than coal and 30 percent less than fuel oil
• The Department of Energy statistics show that American homes save on average $220 per year when their major heating appliances are fueled by natural gas

Natural gas produces less:

• Sulfur dioxide (primary precursor of acid rain)
• Nitrogen oxides (primary precursor of smog)
• Particulate matter (tiny soot that affects health and visibility) than oil or coal.

Naturally Affordable and Available.
Choosing energy-efficient natural gas appliances can also shrink your energy bills – helping the environment and your wallet. Natural gas furnaces, water heaters and kitchens are more efficient and cost less to operate than their electric counterparts. In fact, it costs about half as much to cook with a natural gas range as an electric one. An average household can save up to $220 per year on their energy bill by replacing an electric water heater with a natural gas water heater.

Natural gas is the cleanest fossil fuel available today. Natural gas offers reliable, abundant energy to meet America’s energy needs today and into the future. For homeowners, replacing other fuels with natural gas offers energy-saving benefits and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

Lastly, natural gas is plentiful in the United States. At current consumption levels, experts estimate that we have 100 years of natural gas supply available within the continental United States, providing a secure fuel supply to deliver comfort and value to you.
