1. Natural Gas is Inexpensive (in the U.S.)

Natural gas use is more economical than other fuels. If you are installing a new appliance or recreation-related system, you can choose natural gas during the initial design phase.

All of us are looking to save a little money, and one of the most attractive advantages of natural gas is that is an inexpensive power source. Although the initial installation of gas piping is an investment, using natural gas can be very lucrative in the years to come. Homeowners who use natural gas enjoy significant savings on electric bills and increased property values.

Natural Gas Benefits for Residential BackyardsMost of the natural gas consumed in the US is produced domestically, and it is a plentiful resource. Currently, there is enough natural gas to fuel domestic needs for the next 75 years and new sources are being acquired every year. The fact that it’s abundant and easily stored, means that it’s readily accessible, even during times that it’s not being produced. This means that prices are not as vulnerable to supply and demand shifts. Supply will remain constant through adverse weather conditions, or other influences which negatively affect other fuel sources.

Natural gas can be used in almost any setting, including:

  • Commercial
  • Industrial
  • Residential
  • Transportation
