1) DOMESTIC - Most of the natural gas we use is produced in the United States; therefore, America's energy dollars stay at home.

2) DEPENDABLE - Natural gas is transported to your home through a reliable pipeline system. You won't have to worry about tanks or deliveries. Even after major hurricanes and floods, natural gas is usually still available. During power outages, customers supplied with natural gas will be able to continue cooking and taking hot showers until their electricity is restored.

3) CONVENIENT - You simply cannot beat the convenience of a gas grill when compared to charcoal. And consider your natural gas fireplace. Light it up, enjoy the warmth and comfort and turn it off when you're done. What is missing? The mess, the odor left after the fire is out and the job of replenishing the wood. And, you pay for natural gas after you use it - not before.

4) VERSATILE - Natural gas is ideal for space and water heating, fireplaces (indoor and outdoor), cooking, barbecuing, clothes drying, lighting, generators and other uses.

5) CLEAN - In fact, natural gas is the cleanest burning of all fossil fuels. When it burns, the only by-products are water vapor and trace amounts of inert elements. That's important.

6) SPACE SAVING - With natural gas, there's no fuel storage tank.

7) ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY - You'll have no worries about environmental damage from spills or leaks. And, as we stated above, it is the cleanest burning of all fossil fuels.

8) GOOD INVESTMENT - The availability of natural gas often results in higher

resale value of homes. Consider the sense of luxury provided by natural gas appliances such as gas fireplaces, spa or pool heaters, generators, gas lights and tankless water heaters. Nothing else can compare!

9) PLENTIFUL - Natural gas reserves in the United States are abundant - no costly fuel to import from foreign countries.

10) ECONOMICAL - Over time, natural gas has proven to be the least expensive way to heat homes, heat water and cook. As a matter of fact, studies have shown that natural gas is twice as efficient as electricity - and cheaper. Now that's a great combination!

Heating your water: That gas water heaters can deliver up to twice the hot water in the same amount of time as an electric water heater?

And today's gas water heaters have more features and options than ever. There are two types of gas water heating systems - one being the standard conventional tank system which stores and heats water until needed. The other is the continuous or tankless water heating system which has a higher efficiency rating than any other conventional residential water heating system. People love these because you never run out of water. Either way, you can't go wrong
