Natural Gas Heating Systems
Here’s why treating yourself right is better for the planet, too.
ELECTRICITY CAN’T MATCH THE COMFORT OF NATURAL GAS
The whole point of heating your home is to be comfortable in winter-right? Well, nothing beats the comfort of a natural gas heating system. Unlike a heat pump, natural gas heating systems don’t just “moderate” the temperature, they really heat your home. The warmest air a heat pump can deliver is 90 degrees – that’s less than your body temperature. With a natural gas heating system, the air coming out can be as warm as 120 degrees. And they provide that warmth in a way that’s better for the environment.
THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF HEAT PUMPS VS. NATURAL GAS HEAT
1. Natural gas heat decreases your carbon footprint by 73%.
2. 11,880 fewer miles driven annually is the equivalent of heating with natural gas instead of a heat pump.
3. Choosing a natural gas heating system is equivalent to planting 1.24 acres of trees.
4. The electricity generated to run a heat pump produces 16,558 lbs. of CO2 per year while natural gas produces only 4,430 lbs.
IT’S THE PERFECT TIME TO ACT
By converting to a high-efficiency natural gas heating system, you may be eligible for up to a $1,500 tax credit from the federal government. Plus, manufacturers are currently offering special promotions on natural gas heating systems, ranging from price incentives to special financing and rebates. Combine the federal tax credit and manufacturer promotions and the savings are unprecedented. Contact a licensed heating contractor for details.
