Looking forward
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates natural gas prices will decline in 2023 and that gas will continue to be the lowest cost heating source in the Northeast and nationally.
It's proven.
With natural gas, you don't need to wonder if your heating system will do the job on the coldest New York nights. Gas furnaces are a proven technology, generating comfortable heat in any weather at greater than 95 percent efficiency.
In addition, you don't need to worry about scheduling deliveries since gas is delivered on-demand via a secure underground distribution system.
