Switch-To-Gas

For reliability, comfort, and convenience, no energy source comes close to providing as much value as natural gas. You can cook, bathe, and stay warm by a fire, even when the electricity is out, thanks to the reliable underground delivery of natural gas. You’ll feel warmer and have abundant hot water for washing clothes, dishes, and kids, thanks to the comfort provided by natural gas. Saving time is also a breeze with the convenience of gas logs, ranges, and grills. It’s important to know that you have choices. Here are ten great reasons to choose natural gas today!

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
Generator - $200
Range/cook top only - $100
Clothes dryer only - $100

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 generators will power your home, fireplaces will heat your home, water heaters with tanks will provide hot water, and cook tops will cook your meals.

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.
