Natural gas is the most popular energy solution for Canadian homeowners, for good reasons.
Natural gas provides a very cozy heat that is evenly distributed through your home. Natural gas appliances minimize noise and odour, helping you enjoy the comforts of your home.
You only pay for the natural gas you use, as you use it and it’s always there when you need it. No need to worry about scheduling deliveries, running out of fuel or replacing an oil tank that is becoming a liability.
Not only is the supply of natural gas secure but the underground distribution system is very reliable as well. It’s always on and there when you need it.
Natural gas has also historically cost less than electricity, heating oil or propane in Nova Scotia. Natural gas heating systems also cost less to maintain, so you keep saving over the life of your equipment.
Beyond space heat, natural gas can be used in many ways in your home: hot water heating, cooking with gas ranges, drying clothes, cozy fireplaces or creating a backyard oasis with a BBQ and patio heaters.
Natural gas continues to be one of the world’s safest, most reliable and popular energy choices, and is used by millions of Canadians.
Choosing natural gas has a direct positive impact on our environment. Homeowners can reduce their carbon emissions by over 35% by switching from heating oil to natural gas. Natural gas is the cleanest-burning fossil fuel available, emitting less greenhouse gas than heating oil, propane or electricity in Nova Scotia.
Natural gas appliances are also up to 98% efficient. They use less fuel to achieve the same level of heating in your home.
