Reduce Your Environmental Footprint with Natural Gas
Converting to natural gas heating is one way a homeowner can help reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants.

Cleaner Burning
Natural gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel. Less greenhouse gases. Burning natural gas produces less carbon dioxide than burning heating oil, thus contributing less to global warming. Less acid rain. Burning natural gas produces virtually no sulfur dioxide, thus contributing almost nothing to acid rain, unlike the burning of some other fuels. No solid waste or spills. Burning natural gas produces virtually no solid waste and has much less impact on water quality than some other fuel sources. Also, there’s no risk of leaky tanks or messy spills. |
Energy Efficient
Modern, high-efficiency natural gas furnaces convert up to 98 percent of the fuel they burn into warmth for your home, compared to 60-70 percent for aging furnaces. That means you use less natural resources to receive the same amount of heat and you help keep greenhouse gases and other pollutants from the atmosphere. |
