- Convenient – With natural gas, you will never run out of fuel. Underground pipelines mean that there is no disruption of supply due to storms or power outages. Unlike other heat sources that leave ashes and odors, natural gas will never leave a mess. Natural gas provides instant heat, precision cooking, and nice long showers.
- Versatile – Natural gas does more than heat your home. It can be used for water heating, clothes drying, cooking and fireplace. It can even heat your swimming pool or hot tub.
- Efficient – Natural gas is extremely efficient, losing very little of its energy value as it reaches its end-use. More than 90% of the energy is used when natural gas is consumed directly by the consumer. By contrast, electricity is much less efficient, and only about 28% of the energy put into generating electricity is available by the time it reaches your home.
- Clean – Natural gas has a high energy density. That means that its unique, natural properties allow it to work with less waste. It’s the cleanest burning fossil fuel, with about 45% fewer carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions than electricity and 30% fewer emissions than fuel oil. If you were to convert an electric water heater to a natural gas water heater, you would save the same amount of CO2 emissions in one year as recycling 1.7 tons of waste. (Source: AGA)
- Safe – Natural gas is lighter than air. That means that it rises and eventually will escape the atmosphere in a harmless manner. In fact, it is estimated that $6 billion is spent each year to ensure that natural gas is delivered safely and reliably to your home.
