Yes, natural gas heats your home and water faster than electric. It is more economical for you because of this. You get more for your money and it isn’t prone to power outages like electricity is. So in turn it is better for the environment as well as your wallet.

Absolutely. Natural gas is the most efficient energy source for all heat-producing energy applications. A gas hot water heater, for example, produces over twice as much hot water per dollar as an electric hot water heater. A gas furnace produces warmer air, reducing the amount of time that your system has to run to warm your home. With a gas dryer, you can dry more than twice as many loads per dollar as an electric dryer — and gas heat is gentler on fabrics.
