How Does Natural Gas Energy Compare to Other Energy Sources?

Natural gas energy provides efficient and responsive heating, allowing you to warm your living space quickly and maintain comfortable temperatures more precisely. Natural gas furnaces and boilers also operate at a higher efficiency than electric or oil-based systems, which means lower energy costs.

If you like to cook, natural gas stoves and ovens provide instant and controllable heat, which eliminates the unknown variables and inconsistencies that can arise with other energy systems. Beyond indoor heating and cooking, natural gas can power other appliances like grills and fire pits.

This versatility balances comfort, convenience, and energy expenses. The direct flow of natural gas through your underground pipelines also ensures a consistent supply, even during power outages, which provides an extra layer of security you may find desirable.

What Natural Gas Appliances Can You Use?

Natural gas can power a variety of indoor and outdoor appliances. If you like to grill, for example, you won’t need to lug around propane tanks or heavy charcoal bags. Instead, you simply turn a knob and start grilling.

Here are a few other examples of appliances that you can upgrade to:

  • Stoves and ovens: Natural gas versions are known for their precise heat control and quick responsiveness.
  • Water heaters: Natural gas varieties provide hot water on demand.
  • Furnaces: Natural gas efficiently heats your home during colder months.
  • Dryers: Natural gas models often dry clothes faster and more efficiently than electric dryers.
  • Pool heaters: Natural gas easily maintains desired water temperatures.

Following Safety Guidelines and Natural Gas Utility Regulations

Natural gas can be dangerous, but we take every possible safety measure to ensure your safety.

Regardless of your proximity to the closest gas source, how easily accessible your gas meter is, your gas line sizing, or your current piping quality, we always ensure you are good to go.

Before installation can be considered complete, we will perform a leak detection test. First, we secure every hose and rub a leak detection solution over all the connecting pieces to ensure a sealed connection.

What Natural Gas Safety Features Can You Expect in Your System?

Natural gas systems require specific safety features to protect against hazards like leaks or carbon monoxide poisoning. These features give you the confidence to use your system knowing you’re protected.

Here are a few examples of natural gas safety features you can expect:

  • Gas shut-off valves: These valves allow for complete gas shut-off in an emergency or when maintenance is required.
  • Pressure relief valves: These valves automatically release gas when your system pressure exceeds safe levels, preventing over-pressurization.
  • Leak detection: Your gas system will contain a leak detection system that monitors the air for the presence of gas and sounds an alarm if a leak is detected.

What Is the Purpose of a Natural Gas Regulator?

The purpose of the natural gas regulator that we install in your system is to control and maintain the pressure of natural gas as it flows from high-pressure supply lines into your building’s internal piping system. Natural gas is delivered at high pressures, so it needs to be reduced to a safe and usable level.

The regulator ensures that the gas pressure remains consistent despite fluctuations in supply pressure or demand, providing a stable and efficient flow to your appliances. By maintaining proper pressure, the regulator helps prevent leaks and ensures that your appliances operate efficiently and safely.

How Does Natural Gas Piping Work?

Your new piping transports natural gas from a supply source to appliances through a network of pipes. It starts with high-pressure gas delivered to your building through underground mains. A regulator reduces the pressure, allowing the gas to flow through smaller pipes into your appliances.

The pipes we use depend on factors such as pressure levels or specific applications (indoor vs outdoor), but the material is more than durable enough to withstand pressure and prevent leaks. The actual configuration and orientation of your pipes depend on your building structure and appliance locations.
