When it comes to powering your home, many homeowners don’t realize that they actually have several options. There are several reasons why you should consider incorporating natural gas into your home. Not only is it cost-effective, it is also more reliable, more efficient, and more environmentally friendly than coal or electricity. Whether you are considering the need to repair a gas line in Powder Springs or making the switch to natural gas, here are a few things to consider about using gas to power your home. Cost Effective In most areas of the country, natural propane gas is considerably cheaper than traditional electricity. Depending on where you live, gas is a standard feature built into most homes and the cost of maintaining existing systems is minuscule. For homes that do not have a gas hookup, the cost of installation is well worth the investment. Also, appliances with gas hookups are cheaper than standard electric appliances and some are versatile enough to accommodate both power sources. Reliability You can always rely on natural gas even during a power outage. Natural gas systems do not need electricity to run. Heavy rains and winds can knock out your electricity but natural gas lines run underground, safe from environmental hazards. Natural gas is also a domestic product produced here in the United States which means it is always in plentiful supply outside of the influences of international trade. Efficiency Overall, electric power grids in the United States are outdated and less efficient than they used to be. Between the power plant and your home, nearly 70% of electric energy is lost in transit. With natural gas, less than 10% is lost in the pipelines. Environmental Benefits Natural gas is the most efficient natural energy source even compared to solar and wind energy. On average, homes that rely on propane emit 50% less carbon emissions compared to electric-only homes. In addition to saving the environment, by making the switch to natural gas today, you can start saving money on your energy bills or on basic maintenance like needing to repair a gas line in Power Springs.
