Continuous Hot Water


Get more hot water faster, and for less money—with gas!

You’ll always have plenty of hot water for your bath, because a gas water heater works much faster than an electric water heater. In fact, gas produces up to twice as much hot water as an electric model in the same amount of time for about one-third of the cost! This means you’ll save money every month—hundreds of dollars a year! And even if your electricity goes out, you’ll still be in hot water with a gas water heater.

Laundry dries in half the time!


Gas heat is instant, and a gas dryer heats the air at a higher temperature than an electric model. With gas, you can dry two loads of laundry in about the same time it takes an electric dryer to finish just one—and clothes are even softer and fluffier. The bottom line is simple… spend less time doing laundry and have more time for the things you enjoy. And, save money, too!

Grilling with gas is clean and easy!

Grilling out is pure Americana. Cook-outs with loved ones are the events that make memories. And cooking with gas makes it easy. Gas grills are easy to light and maintain. And when you cook outside, the indoors stays cooler and your air conditioner will run less! Rediscover the pleasure of cooking outdoors with family and friends…and savor the flavor of delicious grilled foods.

Cook like a professional chef… with gas.

For some, cooking is a lifestyle… and they like to cook like the pros. Professional chefs cook with gas because temperature adjustment is more precise, and heat is immediate. Cooking with gas is economical, about one-third less than the cost of cooking with electricity. And gas cooking equipment is available for every lifestyle and budget. Choose from dependable, self-cleaning, residential ovens to elaborate commercial quality ranges that are equipped with woks, rotisseries and more.


Gas Heating keeps your pool and spa warm and comfortable year-round.


Gas pool and spa heaters heat water faster, more consistently and cost less to operate than electric heat pumps. Electric heat pumps take about 48 hours to heat up the first time, then run 12-18 hours a day to maintain the heat. Compare that to a gas heater—it takes only 6–8 hours to heat up the first time, then requires only 8 hours a day to maintain. And gas heaters have fewer problems than electric heat pumps. Get more use out of your pool and spa… with a gas heater.

Warm Cozy Heat


Gas heating is warm, comfortable and economical all winter long.

Heating equipment is one of the home’s largest energy users. You could save a considerable amount of money heating with gas. High-efficiency gas heating systems are economical to operate and conserve energy. Gas delivers immediate warm air, without the cool draftiness of electric heating systems.

Outdoor Lighting

Gas lighting adds ambience to any home or business.

Gas lighting is a powerful way to make a statement-and a practical and reliable way to have a positive impact on appearance, security and energy efficiency.

With a distinctive touch, inviting comfort, and natural beauty, gas lighting’s soft amber glow also discourages insects—it’s the perfect lighting for outdoor patios and entryways. Gas lighting will keep your home, driveway, patio and sidewalks beautifully lit; even if the power goes out, you’ll still have light. For commercial, residential, and industrial applications, gas lighting is the right choice.
