Adding natural gas to your energy mix is an affordable, dependable, and versatile way to meet cooking, water heating, drying, backup power, and other operational needs while improving energy efficiency, quality, service, and reliability. From hospitals large to small, from senior living facilities to outpatient clinics, natural gas fuels a large variety of healthcare applications, providing countless opportunities.
Storm-Ready Reliability 24/7/365
Healthcare facilities need a secure, reliable source of energy. While unpredictable weather, such as storms and hurricanes, can create an uncertain supply of power, natural gas is a safe and reliable energy source that is almost always available during and after a storm. Since natural gas is delivered via an underground pipeline, it provides nearly 100% reliable service and is always available 24/7/365—even during emergencies, hurricanes, and power outages.
Emergency Standby Power
In a healthcare facility, the ability to stay up and running during a power outage can be the difference between life or death. Clearly, there’s no room for error when it comes to a healthcare facility’s emergency power plan. With natural gas backup generator systems, your facility will benefit from having reliable power. Natural gas generators can detect a power outage and turn on before power is lost and will shut off automatically once power is restored.
Value & Versatility
With natural gas, you always have the reliable energy service you need to serve patients. Natural gas also helps maximize healthcare operations’ efficiency for a better bottom line by providing affordable, clean, and reliable energy solutions every day. Healthcare facilities require an environment that reduces or eliminates the potential for disease or illness and natural gas can play a vital role. Using natural gas to control the strict temperature and humidity requirements in the healthcare facility is a cost-effective way to provide a safe environment for patients, staff and visitors.
Unlock Limitless Opportunities
Buyers like an upscale feel that’s still affordable, and natural gas unlocks limitless opportunities to give them more of what they’re looking for. Homebuyers also prefer natural gas for cooking, water heating, clothes drying and outdoor living. From single-family homes to high-rise condominiums, from commercial properties to multi-family developments, there are engineering and design options to meet any project’s needs. Gas meter configurations can be designed and vented individually or they can be grouped to your preferences.

Direct natural gas usage (instead of converting natural gas to electricity) is one of the easiest ways to reduce your carbon footprint while lowering monthly energy costs. Using natural gas directly to power your equipment means that you can use less than half the energy than you would use if your equipment is powered by electricity and reduces emissions by at least 20%, making it a cost-effective and environmentally conscious energy source for your business.
