Now the Laurens CPW makes upgrading to natural gas an even better deal. With this program, new CPW gas customers will receive a bill credit for installing the following natural gas appliances:

Water heater only - $250      Range/cook top only - $75      Clothes dryer only - $75      Water heater plus 1 additional appliance (range or dryer) - $350      All three appliances (water heater, range, and dryer) - $450

Saves Money
Compared to other energy alternatives, natural gas remains the best value for water heating, clothes drying, and cooking.

Works When Others Don’t
When the electricity is out, natural gas fireplaces, water heaters, and cook tops will continue to provide heat, hot water for showers, and a hot meal.

Faster
What is more aggravating than a cold shower? With a natural gas water heater, you can heat water twice as fast as most electric models. Clothes drying also takes about half the time of electric models. So you can spend more time doing the things you want to do!

Warm Heat
The temperature of the air coming out of a natural gas furnace is 10-25 degrees warmer than the air coming out of a typical electric heat pump. With a natural gas furnace, you’ll feel warm and comfortable without a cool draft breezing through your home.

Preferred by More People
More than half of all U.S. households use natural gas in their homes. In fact, nearly seven out of every ten new homes built in the United States use natural gas heating. An investment in natural gas appliances is truly an investment in the value of your home.

Clean Burning
Compared to other energy sources such as coal and oil, natural gas is cleaner burning and better for the environment.

Abundant, Domestic Fuel
International politics or OPEC supply concerns will never stand in the way of heating your home. In fact, 99 percent of our natural gas is produced right here in North America.

Safe
The natural gas industry spends over $4 billon a year to help ensure the safety of natural gas. As a result, natural gas has an excellent safety record. Today’s natural gas appliances are more advanced and use the latest technology to ensure safe, efficient operation.

Satisfaction Guaranteed
The new Switch-to-Gas Program offers a 100% money back guarantee if you install a new natural gas water heater so you can buy with confidence!

Special Incentives
Also with this new program, you can save up to $450 by installing natural gas appliances in your home.

All you need to do is call 984-0481 or stop by the Laurens CPW to find out if natural gas is available in your area.

If you have converted your hot water system under this program to natural gas and are not satisfied with its performance, we will pay to replace it with a similar electric model. This guarantee will be in effect for a period of one year from the date of inspection of the water heater.

To participate in this program, you must be the owner of a single-family residence and a new residential gas customer of the Laurens CPW. A new customer is defined as one that establishes a new permanent natural gas account.

Installation must conform to all applicable building codes. All installations will be inspected by CPW service personnel (and city/county inspectors) prior to bill credit being applied.

Appliances must be installed within 60 days of application for service in order to be eligible for the incentives.

Credit will be applied only to the account of the person responsible for paying the gas bill. (Any exceptions, such as rebates to landlords, contractors, or developers must be pre-approved.)

If the customer chooses not to keep the gas water heater, the CPW will pay him/her to replace it with a similar electric model. In this case, the CPW will only pay an amount up to the cost of the original water heater installation or $500 whichever is less. The CPW will subtract from this amount the $250 original incentive.

The CPW does not guarantee energy savings.

The CPW reserves the right to discontinue the Switch-to-Gas program at any time without notice.
