When it comes to heating, natural gas is the right fuel for the job and the right choice for our environment.
Natural gas is comfortable
Natural gas heating - by a central furnace or boiler, a fireplace or a space heater - gives homes an even warmth and comfort that electric heat can't match. Precise temperature control and zoned heating options make natural gas an energy efficient choice that's preferred by homeowners.
In the kitchen, a natural gas cook-top gives you infinite temperature settings and instant flame control so you can sauté, simmer and sizzle like a professional chef and other natural gas appliances enhance your comfortable lifestyle.

Natural gas is clean and green
Being one of the cleanest burning fossil fuels, natural gas is better for the environment than heating oil or propane.
Switching to natural gas from heating oil or propane helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Choosing natural gas for heating helps reduce the province's need to import extra fossil-fuel generated electricity.
Natural gas is reliable
Because natural gas is piped directly into your home, you enjoy an uninterrupted supply. Natural gas is always there when you need it.
With natural gas, you'll never have to worry about running out of fuel or arranging another delivery, as you do with oil or propane.
