Gas vs Electric

Why so many South Florida homes run on gas. The comparison below is the same one we have shared with customers for years.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, about 91 percent of natural gas energy reaches the end user, while only about 29 percent of electric energy does. That gap is money out of every household budget.

Efficiency

Energy That Arrives

Electricity loses most of its energy before it ever reaches your home, in generation and in the lines that carry it. Natural gas travels by pipe and arrives with nearly all of its energy intact. For the jobs gas does best, heating water, cooking, drying clothes, heating a pool and warming a room, that efficiency shows up directly in the monthly bill.

Gas appliances also deliver their power instantly and at full strength. A gas water heater recovers far faster than an electric one, a gas range answers the moment you turn the knob, and a gas pool heater raises water temperature at a pace electric heat cannot match.

Environment

A Cleaner Burn

Preserving our environment is a theme of our industry. Clean burning natural gas can help our nation improve air quality and quality of life, producing less carbon than the electric generation it replaces for the same work. Choosing gas for the heavy heating jobs in a home is one of the practical ways a household lowers its footprint without giving up comfort.
