Natural Gas is America’s own energy resource with the power to fulfill our residential, commercial and industrial needs well into the next century. The more America uses its own energy, the less dependent we are on foreign oil.

Since natural gas pipelines are underground, they are protected from high winds. After a hurricane or inclement weather, natural gas stays on after the storm. Residents can still cook, take hot showers and run a generator with natural gas until storm damage is repaired. The following highlights the specific benefits of the basic appliances that every home should have for maximum energy efficiency and savings.

WATER HEATERS

• The first natural gas appliance customers need for an energy efficient home
• Recovers hot water three times faster
• Most efficient way to heat water—long term savings on utility bills
• Direct vent models can be installed up to 40 feet from an outside wall
• Operate after a hurricane or post-storm power outage

TANKLESS WATER HEATERS

• Continuous on-demand water heating—you’ll never run out of hot water
• New technology—can be installed on a wall or outside a garage
• Garage or utility room space can be increased on the average of 128 cu. ft.
• Energy savings up to 50% compared to non-gas water heating systems
• Average life span is greater than 20 years—more than double the average tank-style water heater

GAS DRYERS

• Cost about 25% less to operate per load
• Shorter drying times: less energy consumption, fewer wrinkles, reduced wear and tear on clothes
• Moisture sensors shut off heat when clothes are dry—preventing wasted energy and over-drying
• Pilot-less ignitions and manufacturing standards both exceed government safety guidelines
• Uses standard dryer exhaust vents

GAS FURNACES/HYDRO HEAT

• Blows almost instantaneous heat—no “warm up” period
• Up to 95% efficient energy usage
• Can use 100% outside air
• Directly vented to enhance indoor air quality
• Hydro heat systems—can be designed to work in tandem with water heaters for space savings and total energy efficiency—preferred for many Florida applications/locations

RANGES, COOKTOPS & OVENS

• Preferred by more than 9 out of 10 professional chefs
• Precise temperature control goes from fast boil to slow simmer, instantly
• More economical and energy efficient
• Electronic pilot lights provide easy lighting and exceed government safety guidelines
• Operate after a hurricane or post-storm power outage
• Sealed burners and self-cleaning ovens available
• Instant on/off keeps kitchens cooler
• Free standing, wall and under counter units available
