You expect your home’s heating equipment to bring you warmth and comfort, fast and convenient. That is what natural gas delivers without the cool draftiness of other heating units. Natural gas heated air registers 110ºF to 130ºF. Electric heat pumps, by comparison, circulate the air in the 90ºF range. That is considerably cooler than normal for body temperatures, and for most individuals, very uncomfortable. High-efficiency gas heating systems are economical to operate and conserve energy. Only Natural Gas offers flexibility in saving energy with convenient options, such as setting back the thermostat, at night and when not at home.

HEATING WITH FIREPLACES

Consider a warm radiant fireplace using Natural Gas instead of burning logs that cause a sooty mess, and if wet, may smell up the house. You can still enjoy the warmth and the mood of a real burning fire with convenient, realistic gas logs, or try a free-standing stove which can be installed just about anywhere in the house or apartment. There are even direct-vent fireplaces, without chimneys, so you can enjoy the relaxing sensation of a real fireplace, even though your home was not built with one. What’s more, gas fireplaces can still be used anytime, even if your community enforces mandatory “no burn” days. With Lake Apopka Natural Gas, the money you save in heating with natural gas could be significant.

COOKING WITH GAS

Cooking is so easy. Turn on the burner, and there is instant heat. No need to wait for warm-up delays. That is important when a family is in a rush. Turn the burner off, and it is off, with no carryover heat to burn food, or leave a hot burner for a child to touch. Whether boiling pasta, or simmering chocolate, you can depend on instant response and precise temperature control. As a bonus, Natural Gas is economical. In most areas, its costs half as much compared to cooking with electricity.

CLOTHES DRYER

Let’s face it, who enjoys doing laundry? Wash, dry, fold, over and over again. There has to be a better way, and there is; a Natural Gas dryer! You can dry two loads of laundry in the time it takes an electric dryer to finish one load, even when doing tough loads, like heavy towels or thick sweatshirts. You will also save time and money. On average, the cost to operate a Natural Gas dryer is about one-third to one-half that of a comparable electric dryer. Laundry isn’t fun, but with Natural Gas, it can take less time and save you money.
