Benefits of natural gas for your business
There are many ways your business can benefit by switching to natural gas service:
- Continuous supply for heating or cooking during storms or power outages
- Using natural gas eliminates noise and odour common with other fuel choices
- More space at your establishment once fuel tanks are no longer onsite
- Removing oil tanks or baseboard heating can often reduce insurance premiums
Natural gas is cost-effective
No more stocking up on heating fuel in advance or arranging a delivery — and the hefty bill that comes with it. Natural gas is convenient, affordable and provides an instant source of energy.
Natural gas is safe, clean and reliable
By switching to natural gas, your business is using one of the safest and cleanest burning fuel choices.
"Natural gas emits lower levels of greenhouse gases and air pollution than any other fuel source including heating oil, propane and, in some jurisdictions, electricity."*
Natural gas is versatile
Natural gas can be used for more than just heating your business space.
Vehicles
As the appetite for low-cost, low-emission alternatives to diesel and gasoline continues to grow, so do the advantages of switching to a fuel that reduces costs, burns cleaner and can help businesses win contracts.
Natural gas used as a transportation fuel can result in fuel costs savings of as much as 10-20 percent compared to diesel.*
Equipment
Adding natural gas equipment to your operations can improve efficiencies and reduce emissions on top of saving on your energy bill. Some examples include:
- Heating, cooling or ventilation systems that can make up the largest part of your energy use
- Ranges, ovens, fryers or cooktops for your commercial kitchen
- Natural gas dryers for laundry service at your laundromat, hotel or multi-residential complex
- Power generation options to ensure business continuity and the reduction of operating costs
