Natural gas is a natural choice as an energy source for your home and appliances for many reasons.

1. It is cost-efficient

Natural gas is the most economical fuel choice for heating your home in Kitchener. When you shop for natural gas appliances, compare EnerGuide labels and look for ENERGY STAR-qualified models for highest energy efficiency. For example, there are natural gas furnace units that can achieve over 95% efficiency.

2. It is environmentally sound

With growing concerns about greenhouse gases and global warming, consumers are turning to natural gas to power their homes and businesses. Natural gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel. When burned, it releases less carbon monoxide than coal and oil, for cleaner air both inside and outside of our homes.

3. It can be used throughout your home

Natural gas can be used for more than just home heating. A licensed natural gas service professional can easily add on connections for indoor natural gas appliances such as a dryer, fireplace, water heater, or range and outdoor appliances such as a barbecue or pool heater – with little inconvenience or disturbance to your home.  Natural gas can provide an instant and efficient source of energy for most of your household needs.
