PECO Smart Natural Gas Conversion
Discover the benefits of clean-burning natural gas.
In offering more efficiency than other fossil fuel sources, natural gas can provide business benefits that should be kept in mind especially when considering facility expansion or renovation. Those benefits tend to fall into three primary categories: economical, environmental, and convenience.
ECONOMICAL
Natural gas can be the most cost-effective solution to your business space heating, water heating, and process needs, and it is abundantly available from domestic sources at a cost that is more consistent than most other fuels. New natural gas furnaces turn up to 97% of your energy dollar into heat while many aging furnaces turn only 65% of your energy dollar into heat.
ENVIRONMENTAL
It’s simple. Natural gas burns cleaner and more efficiently than other fossil fuels and produces less solid waste and water pollution.
CONVENIENCE
Since natural gas is piped directly into your business, it eliminates the dependency on oil trucks that may have difficulty delivering in bad weather, and it frees up space that oil tanks would require. Specific benefits vary from business to business. Consider, for example, the convenient advantages of a restaurant that uses natural gas patio heaters. Projecting a 20-foot circle of heat, the units can warm both customers and employees for outdoor dining—and significantly extend the outdoor dining season.
