Home Heating Systems Using Natural Gas

Natural Gas Furnaces
Even on the coldest days, nothing keeps your home warm and cozy like a high-efficiency, ENERGY STAR qualified Natural Gas furnace.

A gas furnace delivers air that’s up to 25 degrees warmer than the air from an electric heat pump. Plus, it delivers a steady flow of warm air that heats your home faster, while using less energy.

With a Natural Gas furnace you’ll get:

• Longer-lasting equipment. In fact, a Natural Gas furnace can last twice as long as an electric heat pump
• Enhanced comfort with air up to 25 degrees warmer
• Environmental benefits. With up to 50% fewer carbon emissions and 97% efficient models earning significant green building points, Natural Gas furnaces are good for your family and the environment.

Energy Efficiency Tips for Your Natural Gas Furnace.

• Add extra insulation to your walls and attic or foam insulation in places where pipes enter your home.
• Add weather stripping around doors and windows, and you’ll help keep the heat in your home where it belongs.
• Install a programmable thermostat. It can regulate your furnace so it’s warm when you need it, but more efficient when you’re away or at night when you’re sleeping.
• Properly maintain your system by changing the filter in your furnace every 3-6 months.
