When it comes to home heating, you have a lot of choices. And you could make good arguments for many of those options. Convenience is a big reason customers opt for natural gas service: Delivered to your home via a system of underground pipes, there’s no need to worry about runouts or scheduling deliveries. Whether you’re considering upgrading your heating system or shopping for a new home, you’ll find that natural gas can be an efficient option that not only keeps your home warm, but comes with a range of additional benefits.
Natural gas is great at providing consistent and even heat. Modern gas heating equipment is designed to be extremely efficient, which can help significantly lower your energy costs, while providing quick and effective warmth. That translates into a cozy home even on the coldest days.
The same efficient heating power makes natural gas great for heating water. An energy-efficient gas water heater can help you reduce your energy costs, and perform better too. Tankless water heaters save energy by instantly heating water when you need it, rather than keeping a large tank hot all the time. As a result, you can enjoy virtually unlimited hot water—while seeing savings of up to 40%!
Like propane, natural gas offers real versatility. In addition to heat and hot water, natural gas can be used to fuel fireplaces, adding cozy charm as well as safe, efficient supplemental heating—without the hassle and mess of a wood-burning fireplace.
Nothing beats the precision and control you get cooking with gas. That’s why it’s the first choice of professional chefs, and most home cooks prefer it in the kitchen—and on the patio. An electric burner doesn’t respond as quickly, taking more time to reduce or increase the heat. Gas lets you sear food quickly without overcooking it, and keep a delicate sauce at a subtle simmer without scorching.
Additionally, with natural gas service, you can fuel other appliances, like clothes dryers, pool heaters, and even backup generators. Having a standby source of power that comes on automatically when storms knock out power can be a game changer. A generator that’s fueled by the natural gas service to your home means you don’t need to worry about keeping diesel on hand, or struggling to set up a portable unit outside, probably in the dark.
