| Natural gas has long been
the favorite with homeowners.
It's clean...
Natural gas is the cleanest of all fossil fuels and is simply the best energy choice for
the environment — inside and outside your home.
It's domestic...
99% of the gas we use comes from North America — 84% from the U.S.* Increased use
of natural gas can reduce our dependence on oil imported from the Middle East.
It's economical...
Natural gas appliances are virtually maintenance-free and that means additional savings.
It's efficient...
When the entire cycle of producing, processing, transporting and using energy is considered,
natural gas is delivered to you with a "total energy efficiency" of about 90%.
Moreover, gas appliances and equipment are extremely efficient.
It's multi-purpose...
It can heat your entire home, make your hot water, dry your clothes and help you cook
your meals — in the oven or on the barbecue grill. New residential uses range from
fireplaces and air conditioners to microturbines and fuel cells.
It's dependable...
You never have to worry about weather, delivery schedules or running out.
In 1999, 70 percent of newly constructed single-family homes used natural gas for space
heating, compared with 47 percent in 1986*.
