Because it burns cleaner and is more efficient, natural gas is better for the environment*, and natural gas efficiency programs can save energy and reduce carbon emissions even more.
With natural gas, there is no need for a storage tank. This allows customers to free-up space in their basements. Since natural gas uses tanks that are underground, costly liabilities can be avoided from tank removal. Most natural gas is produced in North America so there is less dependence on foreign oil.
*Compared to heating oil and biodiesel blends of up to 20%, natural gas emits fewer harmful greenhouse gases over its lifecycle.
