When consumed directly by the end user, more than 90% of the energy value is used. Electricity, measured from the point of generation to the consumer, is much less efficient. (Source: Energy Solutions Center)

Compared to other fossil fuels, natural gas is the cleanest and produces fewer harmful emissions which contribute to greenhouse gases.

Piped right to your location, natural gas is always there when you need it - no tanks to monitor, calling around for deliveries or worrying about running out of fuel.

The U.S. has a total natural gas resource base of 1,836 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) and a total available future supply equaling approximately 100 years.

A high-efficiency (94%) natural gas furnace is the most cost-effective way to heat your space, according to an AGA analysis of DOE's cost projections.
