Natural Gas

Natural gas is a commonly used source for residential energy. Choosing natural gas can reduce the cost of powering your home because it is one of the most cost-effective sources of energy when compared to electricity and Number 2 heating oil. In 2002, the U.S. Department of Energy estimates that natural gas is the energy source cost leader for residential power. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that natural gas contributes to over a fifth of US energy consumption.

Natural gas reduces dependence on foreign energy

Residential natural gas usage can help reduce dependence on the big electric companies and foreign oil for at-home power. A vast majority of natural gas consumed in America is domestically produced. According to the EIA, net imports of natural gas accounts only for 15% of total consumption. Of the 15% imported, about 90% comes from our friendly neighbors to the north, Canada.

Residential natural gas consumption

Natural gas is mostly used for home heating and cooking. Natural gas can also be used as a power source for air conditioners, so not only can natural gas warm your home in the winter but cool it during the summer months. Through advances in distributed generation, natural gas can produce energy at your doorstep for powering all your appliances, such as TV's, computers, stereos, and more.

Liquid Propane

Using liquid propane has become more popular as people search for alternatives to electricity. Propane gas is cleaner burning, reliable, more cost efficient compared to other alternatives, and safe.

Propane is a green energy source

With low carbon content, using propane can help reduce an individual’s carbon footprint. It is also listed as an approved alternative fuel in both the Clean Air Act of 1990 and the National Energy Policy Act of 1992 and 2005.

Propane is also produced domestically and can help reduce dependence on foreign sources of fossil fuels such as oil. Propane can be captured as a by-product of oil refinement, which reduces waste and further increases our nation energy independence.

Liquid Propane is cost competitive with electricity, #2 heating oil, and natural gas. The availability of propane is nationwide. Home water heaters can account for a significant share of the home electricity bill. Using propane powered tankless water heaters can reduce the cost of keeping water hot when in standby mode, giving homeowners significant savings in the cost of their electric bill.

Propane safety

The National Fire Protection Association and the propane industry have teamed up to ensure the safety guidelines and standards for propane usage and storage. According to Propane Education and Research Council, propane only ignites when the source of ignition is at least 940˚F (504˚C). Propane is also non-toxic, will not harm soil or water and produces minimal emissions.
