Switch-To-Gas

For reliability, comfort, and convenience, no energy source offers as much value as natural gas. You can cook, bathe, and stay warm by a fire even during a power outage, thanks to the reliable underground delivery of natural gas. Natural gas not only provides an efficient heat alternative but also abundant hot water for washing clothes, dishes, and kids. Gas logs, ranges, and grills provide a variety of ways to take advantage of the convenience of natural gas, too.

If you are considering migrating to natural gas, Laurens CPW makes upgrading to natural gas even more appealing. With this program, new Laurens CPW natural gas customers will receive a bill credit for installing the following natural gas appliances:

  • Water Heater Only - $250
  • Generator - $200
  • Range/Cooktop Only - $100
  • Clothes Dryer Only - $100

 

Top 10 Reasons to Use Natural Gas

Saves Money
Compared to 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 can power your home, fireplaces provide heat, water heaters with tanks will provide hot water, and cooktops allow you to prepare meals.

Faster
Few things are more frustrating than a cold shower! With a natural gas water heater, you can heat water twice as fast as many electric models. Natural gas clothes dryers take about half the time compared to electric ones, too, for faster laundry.

Warm Heat
The air coming out of a natural gas furnace is 10-25 degrees warmer than the air from a typical electric heat pump. With a natural gas furnace, you’ll feel warm and comfortable.

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

Clean Burning
Compared to other energy sources like 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.

Safety
The natural gas industry spends over $4 billion annually to help ensure safety. As a result, natural gas has an excellent safety record. Modern natural gas appliances are more advanced and use the latest technology to ensure safe, efficient operation.
