Clean. Efficient. Reliable.
It's easy to see why Georgians love natural gas.
We hear it all the time from consumers and professionals: natural gas is their first choice. Realtors and builders report that up to 90 percent of homebuyers demand natural gas as their home fuel source - even first-time buyers. Homes with gas sell more quickly. Developers who install gas appliances have fewer callbacks for repairs. And people who already have gas are adding gas ranges, gas logs, gas lamps, and even outdoor kitchens centered around gas grills.
It's easy to see why…
It's Clean.
Natural gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel. It helps reduce smog, acid rain, and greenhouse emissions. It produces no ash or residues - ask any gas log owner!
It's Reliable
Some 99 percent of our natural gas is supplied from North America. This means a constant supply. And during power outages, the gas stays on.
It's Efficient
-
Natural gas heating systems and appliances have the highest total energy efficiency, creating the best energy value.
-
Natural gas heat is warmer. Air from a natural gas furnace is up to 25 degrees warmer than air from an electric heat pump. Many consumers find that when the temperature drops below 35 degrees, a heat pump is less effective for heating the premises at a constant temperature.
-
Natural gas heating systems are built to last longer than electric heat systems.
-
Natural gas water heaters are less expensive than electric models to operate and they heat water up to twice as fast. Glass liners and foam insulation also boost energy efficiency.
-
Natural gas water heater can cut costs by 50 percent.
-
Professional-style natural gas ranges are patterned on those used in restaurants and commercial kitchens. They feature stainless steel construction, high-output and low-simmer burners, and gas broilers?
