Natural Gas

Natural Gas BurnerInstalling natural gas pipes for your home’s energy needs is a smart, safe, economical, and environmentally friendly choice. In addition to being convenient and affordable, natural gas is also a  “green” fuel that helps reduce the ecological damage caused by other fuels such as electricity or wood.

NATURAL GAS BENEFITS


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

Natural gas use is more economical than other fuels. If installing a new appliance or recreation-related system, you can choose natural gas during the initial design phase. If you are restoring, remodeling, or refurbishing, converting to natural gas will likely pay for itself quickly.

All of us are looking to save a little money, and one of the most attractive advantages of natural gas is its inexpensive power source. Although natural gas is an investment, it can pay off annually. Homeowners who use natural gas enjoy significant savings on electric bills and increased property values.


2. Natural Gas is Better for the Environment

4. Natural Gas is Plentiful and Versatile

Natural Gas Benefits for Residential BackyardsMost of the natural gas consumed in the US is produced domestically, and it is a plentiful resource. There is enough natural gas to fuel domestic needs for the next 75 years and additional sources are being acquired yearly. The fact that it’s abundant and easily stored, means that it’s readily accessible, even during times when 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
