The Benefits Of Natural Gas
Natural gas gives you choice and flexibility. You can use it to power your central heating, or simply for single appliances, for cooking or for your tumble dryer for example. With natural gas you can have control in how you like to run your home.
Central heating and hot water:
Natural gas central heating is ideal for all lifestyles. It’s clean, convenient, quiet, safe and puts you in control of your heating system. At the touch of a button, enjoy cosy warmth and plenty of hot water, without the need for an expensive immersion heater.**
Living flame fires:
They look and feel like a genuine coal fire but without the soot, ash, dirt and cleaning. You’ll love the stunning choice of designs, which will suit the style of any home.
Controllable cooking:
A natural gas cooker can transform the way you cook, giving you total control and an instant, precise response with a gas hob. The choice of cookers, hobs and ranges has never been more exciting. Natural gas costs less than electricity.
Tumble drying:
Natural gas tumble dryers significantly cut running costs. Simply throw in the clothes and turn it on, just as you would an electric model, the only difference is your electricity bill. Did you know that you can run a natural gas tumble dryer for half the cost of electric? Typical annual running cost for a natural gas tumble dryer = £25.20 compared to the typical annual running cost for an electric tumble dryer = £65.91. ***
Barbecuing:
No fuss and minimal cleaning with a natural gas barbecue, makes Summer or Winter barbecuing a whole new experience.
More space:
By installing natural gas, there’s no need for water storage or fuel storage, which means you can gain extra space inside and out. So you can;
- Wave goodbye to the water tank in the roof space and say hello to a loft conversion.
- Throw out the hot water cylinder in the hot press and splash out on a brand new shower unit instead.
- Ditch the bulky oil tank for a brand new decking or patio area.
