Life in the twenty-first century presents new global realities. Fortunately, as we've grown accustomed to many of life's advancements, we've also developed a sense of social and environmental responsibility. We see it more and more everyday. People are choosing earth-friendly vacations, buying organic foods and recycling. They're also turning to Natural Gas for their energy needs.

Natural Gas is the Responsible choice – Before you purchase your next home or homesite make sure you have access to natural gas! Sago Plantation at Legends

Hard working. Less waste. 

Natural Gas has a high energy density, meaning its unique, natural properties allow it to work harder and more efficiently with less waste. It's the cleanest burning fossil fuel, with 45 % less carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions than electricity generated from coal and 30 % less than fuel oil. Consider this: if you were to convert an electric water heater to a Natural Gas water heater, you would save the same amount of CO2 emissions in one year as recycling 1.7 tons of waste.

For the Home

Water Heating
Heating water quickly and efficiently with Natural Gas.

When it's time to take a shower or wash dishes you want plenty of hot water and you want it fast. That's exactly what you get when you heat water with Natural Gas. You see, Natural Gas heats water quickly and more efficiently. In fact, a gas water heater heats water twice as fast as an electric one so your family always has hot water when they need it most. And because it's clean burning, Natural Gas emits up to half the carbon emissions of an electric water heater. In fact, the use of Natural Gas also reduces nitrous oxide emissions by 69% and all but eliminates sulfur oxide emissions.

Natural Gas tankless water heaters

For even more efficiency, consider a Natural Gas tankless water heater. A traditional tank water heater continues to heat water even when you don't need it. A tankless water heater heats water on demand, only when you need it. This reduces stand-by energy loss from unused water left to cool in the tank. Install a Natural Gas tankless water heater near the point of use and you could save hundreds of gallons of water a year simply by reducing the amount of cold water standing in the pipes between your water heater and faucets. 

A Natural Gas tankless water heater pays for itself. The operating cost savings of a Natural Gas tankless water heater will pay back your appliance investment in just a couple of years. They save money with every use, and they last almost twice as long as tank water heaters.

Home Heating
The comforts of Natural Gas home heating.

A high-efficiency Natural Gas heating system will keep you warm and draft free, even on the coldest days. You can actually feel the warm air from a Natural Gas system. Whether you're looking into a forced air or hydronic system, Natural Gas is up to 97 % efficient. Natural Gas emits 40% less carbon emissions of an electric heat pump, and reduces nitrous oxide emissions by 55% and all but eliminates sulfur oxide emissions. 

Cooking
Cooking like a pro. Cooking with Natural Gas.

These days, the kitchen is the centerpiece of many homes — the hub where family and friends gather to talk, laugh and most importantly, prepare the meals. It's also your showpiece. That's why you wouldn't dream of having a gourmet kitchen without granite counters and stainless steel appliances, or most of all, Natural Gas. Just like professional chefs all over the world, home chefs like you want the same even heat and temperature control that only comes from cooking with Natural Gas. And, with Natural Gas the kitchen is always open, even during a power outage. No wonder everyone ends up there. 

In addition, not only will today's gas ranges, ovens, cooktops and grills have you cooking like a pro, you'll save energy and money because Natural Gas is efficient and can be turned on or off instantly. In fact, it costs about half as much to cook with a Natural Gas range as an electric one. Any way you look at it, you can't beat Natural Gas in the kitchen

Outdoor Living
Get away from it all right in your own backyard.

Everyone wants more living space right? Well, why not just create it right in your own backyard? With Natural Gas you can cook, relax and entertain with style, on virtually any deck or patio. Simply start with a clean-burning Natural Gas grill and before you know it every meal is an outdoor getaway. Add a natural gas fireplace and patio heaters and you can watch the stars even when the nights began to cool off. Of course, when it's time to entertain, Natural Gas lights gives "going out for the evening" a whole new meaning. And if you have a pool, heating it with Natural Gas can expand the swimming season deep into the cold winter months, way beyond the dog days of summer.

There's nothing like having a place to wind down and relax right in your own yard. And with Natural Gas you can do it all more efficiently and virtually maintenance free. 

Grills. Sure it's a grill, but it's more like having an outdoor kitchen. With a Natural Gas grill, grilling season never ends. You won't miss running out of charcoal or the mess and particulate emissions it puts out. Grilling outdoors also helps keeps AC bills down in the summer because it keeps the heat outside. And, because it is connected directly to the home's Natural Gas system, you'll never have to worry about filling a tank. 

Fireplace. Remember those nights snuggled up, telling stories around the campfire? Well now you can without the smoke or mess. Just good ole, clean burning, maintenance-free fun. Natural Gas log sets and fireplace inserts add instant ambiance to an outdoor room. There is no messy wood to buy, chop, haul and clean up. 

Patio Heaters. Just because you're outside doesn't mean you can't control the conditions. Natural Gas heaters give you outdoor comfort no matter what time of year it is. 

Pool Heaters. If you have a pool or spa, why not heat it more efficiently and with fewer greenhouse gas emissions? You'll feel better even when you're taking a dip. 

Outdoor Lighting. From tiki torches to wall mounted lights, you'll create the mood in your backyard living space with Natural Gas lighting. 

Laundry
Are you up to your eyeballs in laundry every weekend? Are the clothes in your washer just sitting there wet while the clothes in the electric dryer struggle through multiple cycles? It doesn't have to be that way. Just imagine pulling fluffy dry clothes from your dryer, folding them, and putting them away all before the load in the washer is finished. That's what laundry day is like with Natural Gas. 

Generators
Protect and comfort your family with a standby generator.

With a standby generator fueled by Natural Gas you'll always feel safer and more secure during a power loss. That's because your generator is linked directly into your Natural Gas system and turns on automatically in case of a power failure or blackout. From your sump pump and furnace to your refrigerator and home office, a Natural Gas standby generator can power your entire home. 

Plus, with Natural Gas, you'll never have to worry about running out of fuel like you do with a gasoline or diesel-powered generator. Natural Gas is also the responsible energy choice when compared to gasoline or diesel because it emits fewer greenhouse gases. And, if you're thinking about getting off the grid and powering your home with an alternative, renewable energy, a Natural Gas standby generator is the perfect eco-friendly backup.

Fireplaces
Warm up to a Natural Gas Fireplace

Relax next to a fire that you control with a switch. A clean-burning, Natural Gas fireplace can bring all the warmth and beauty of a real wood fireplace without cutting down trees, hauling wood or cleaning up soot. It's a great way to bring warmth to your home and bring ambiance into any room in the house. Natural Gas fireplaces are available in a range of styles to suit your home's décor from traditional to contemporary. But they are not only beautiful, they are also a great source of supplementary heat. While some gas fireplaces are designed exclusively for decorative use, others are built to heat a room or even an area of your home. 

In many areas of the country "no burn" days are a common way to reduce pollutants when air quality is particularly bad. On those days, it is illegal to use wood-burning fireplaces, wood stoves or outdoor wood fire pits. But, thanks to the clean-burning nature of Natural Gas, you can continue to enjoy the ambiance and warmth of a fire anytime, even on those "no burn" days. 

Gas fireplaces are becoming more and more popular not only because they are cleaner burning, but because they can be easily installed into almost any room in your home. It's easy to upgrade if you have a masonry fireplace and chimney. But a new gas fireplace can be vented through an outside wall or through the roof, without a conventional chimney. And ventless gas fireplaces don't need to be vented at all. That means that you can have that fireplace in your bedroom, bathroom, kitchen or wherever you are looking to add warmth and ambiance.
