Large home appliances are a leading cause of energy waste. If you’re tired of watching your energy bill rise, adding a gas line to your home may be the solution. Introducing this energy source has several immediate and long-term advantages, and it can easily integrate with home and plumbing features.

Benefits of a Home Gas Line

1. Clean Energy

Your water heater, dryer, and stove use significant amounts of power daily, and they can cause extensive energy waste, such as running hot water for too long. Since waste will increase your carbon footprint, minimize it by installing a gas line because it’s a cheaper, more efficient power source.

Convert your water heater and other plumbing features to work with natural gas, and trade your electric stove for a more efficient propane model. Clean-burning gas has a minimal environmental impact, and reducing energy waste at home can drastically lower your carbon footprint.

2. Financial Savings

Homes that use natural gas for cooking, heating, and drying clothes save roughly $874 per year. Nationally, these savings add up to $50 billion. Homeowners can put these savings toward a remodeling project that’ll make their home even more cost-efficient, such as upgrading their appliances.

3. Backup Power

To avoid loss of power during an outage, install a gas line so that your home has a non-electric backup source. This source can be routed to a generator, which will turn on immediately and provide emergency power to the home. Being prepared will keep your family safe and comfortable during an outage emergency.
