With the strive to use cleaner, more available fuel options, natural gas become more popular than ever in the United States. So much so, that homeowners are regularly calling plumbers to update their old electric appliances with those that require the use of fossil fuel. Below are just a few of the reasons for this change in mentality.

3 Reasons Plumbers Are Installing More Natural Gas Appliances

1. Affordability

Since natural gas is a domestic fossil fuel in the United States, it is available in abundance. This often makes it a much more affordable fuel option for many homeowners. It also tends to be much less expensive way to heat your water or entire home than non-gas sources and can help even those in the most severe weather regions save money on their utility bills. 

2. Environmentally Friendly

plumberWhen you change to natural gas appliances, you are choosing to run your home with the cleanest fossil fuel energy source. According to the Florida Natural Gas Association, homes that use a natural gas tankless water heater can prevent 3,000 pounds of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere every year. 

3. Dependability

If you currently rely on electric appliances, then you know they are not immune to power outages. This means during or after a particularly hard storm, you could be left without hot water or the ability to keep your home warm. This is not the case with natural gas appliances. As they receive their power from an underground pipeline, your energy sources are safe from these threats.
