Natural Gas in your Home

The Benefits of Natural Gas

Natural gas is the smart way to heat your home, and the least expensive, because Enbridge Gas New Brunswick provides annual target savings of 20% compared to oil and electricity – although your individual savings can vary depending on consumption, efficiency gains, or fuel costs.

Natural gas will also add instant warmth to your living space. With warm and consistent heat blanketing every corner of your home, it will leave your space comfortable and inviting. The warmth is quite different than heat from electricity or oil and although it's hard to describe, it is quite apparent once you've experienced it.

Enjoy unlimited hot water...the shower, laundry and more can all run concurrently with no worries, as natural gas water heaters can replace the hot water used by a 10 minute shower 63% faster than an electric water heater, so you can put more demands on your hot water.

Natural gas is flexible. It can help to create comfortable environment in your home from heat to cooking to entertaining. Natural gas can fuel many appliances that you may not even be aware of like clothes dryers, ranges, barbeques and more giving you even more reason to convert.

As the cleanest burning fossil fuel. Natural gas creates fewer greenhouse emissions that could contribute to climate change than heating oil or electricity generated from coal or heavy oil. And, with high efficiency natural gas space heating and hot water heating appliances operating at up to 98% efficiency, natural gas not only helps you save money, but also helps save the environment. 

Natural gas is efficient. It is delivered to your home through an underground pipeline, providing you with an uninterrupted, continuous supply. No tank means no waiting for scheduled deliveries and no chance of fuel spills. You won’t have the eyesore of a tank in your yard or basement because natural gas is distributed directly to your home via a natural gas pipeline.

I love having all the hot water I need when I need it. You tend to need hot water in a clump, like first thing in the morning. Showers, laundry, and dishes – we can do it all at the same time. It’s convenient and hotter than it used to be.
