Go Direct for the Full Effect.

Help conserve resources and enjoy a more efficient-running home with natural gas. When natural gas is consumed directly by you, the consumer, from site to source, more than 90% of the energy value is used. With non-gas energy, natural gas must be burned at a power plant, converted and sent to your home or business via wire. Up to 78% of the original energy is wasted in these extra steps.

And since natural gas reaches your home or business through an underground pipeline, service is almost 100% reliable. After major snowstorms, hurricanes and floods, homes with natural gas can still enjoy hot showers and home cooking, or use a natural gas generator to power the rest of their home.

Watch Energy Bills Shrink and Comfort Levels Grow.

Think long term. Although natural gas appliances may cost slightly more to purchase, they pay for themselves in performance. Because natural gas is more efficient, appliances use less fuel- and cost less to operate.

Beyond monthly energy savings, natural gas appliances usually boast longer life spans (up to 20 years!), as well as top-of-the line features and technologies. Concerned with spiking energy prices? Don’t be. Despite changes in supply and demand, natural gas prices usually always remain significantly lower than oil.

More Green Homes = Less Greenhouse

Did you know natural gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel? Compared to oil and coal, it emits:

• Virtually no sulfur
• No solid waste
• Far less nitrogen oxide
• Almost 30 percent less carbon dioxide (than oil)
• Just under 45 percent less carbon dioxide (than coal)

Every household can make a difference. Did you know that when just one home switches their non-gas water heater to natural gas, it eliminates 3,000 pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere every year? That’s a rhino’s worth of greenhouse gas!

Aside from climate change associated with carbon emissions, natural gas also has a positive impact on:

• Smog, air quality and acid rain
• Industrial and electric generation emissions
• Transportation related pollution – natural gas vehicles

Help Energize Your Country

Over 97% of the natural gas used in the U.S. comes from North America. Yet, we shovel out billions on foreign oil each month. See the hole in this logic?

With natural gas, we can put our nation’s own resources to work- and keep more energy dollars at home. With a supply set to last well into the next century, natural gas can be part of our long-term solution to reduce dependence overseas.
