Comfort

Peace-of-Mind, Coziness and More
Switching to natural gas is comforting in so many ways, in addition to the value and versatility it affords.

Clean
• Natural gas burns without odor or soot, unlike the byproducts of burning heating oil, which may have you concerned about your family’s health.
• Natural gas eliminates the worry and expense of troublesome oil tank leaks and messy spills.

Reliable
• Natural gas is there when you need it, without worrying whether your heating oil or propane delivery will make it through those infamous Pennsylvania snowstorms in time.
• More than 99.6 percent of PECO natural gas customers had continuous service in 2005.
• Almost all the natural gas consumed in the U.S. comes from the U.S. (84 percent) and most of the rest comes from Canada (13 percent)⁷, ensuring its abundant supply.

Feels Great
• Air from a natural gas furnace is delivered at a toasty 120 degrees so it doesn’t feel cool or drafty like heated air from some other energy sources.
• Natural gas can fuel your fireplace, providing a sense of warmth and coziness on those frigid winter days and nights.

Better for the Environment
• Burning natural gas produces 42 percent less carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions than burning heating oil. (CO₂ is a powerful greenhouse gas, which experts believe contributes to global warming, among the most significant environmental issues of our time.)
• Natural gas furnaces are more fuel efficient, so they use less of the Earth’s natural resources to produce the same amount of heat.
• Burning natural gas produces virtually no sulfur dioxide (SO₂) or particulate matter, thus contributing almost nothing to acid rain or smog, unlike the burning of some other fuels.
• Burning natural gas produces virtually no solid waste and has much less impact on water quality than some other fuel sources.
