THE NATURAL GAS HEATING AND COOLING ADVANTAGE - The advantages of natural gas heat over electric are simple. With natural gas, you can select the type and size of system that best suits your needs. You can stay warmer while spending less. And, you can rest assured you're using the cleanest-burning fossil fuel available.

THE SELECTION ADVANTAGE
FORCED-AIR FURNACE - The most widely used, basic natural gas furnace - Thermostatically controlled - Turns on automatically as needed to keep home temperature at a pre-set thermostat temperature - Available in High-Efficiency (AFUE 90% or greater) or Standard Efficiency (AFUE 78% to 89%) models

TWO-STAGE FURNACE - Operates at low speed during mild temperatures but kicks in and operates at full capacity when temperatures drop. This ensures a constant, comfortable temperature and maximum operating efficiency.

NATURAL GAS PACKAGED SYSTEM - Installed outside the home when space is limited inside - Offers the same features and comfort as a standard forced-air furnace and air conditioner.

HYDRO-HEAT SYSTEM - A quiet, efficient system that utilizes a natural gas water heater to heat the home with warm air. A thermostat-controlled pump sends hot water from the water heater through a coil in the heating system. A fan blows air over the heated coil, distributing warm air throughout your home.

THE COMFORT ADVANTAGE - NATURAL GAS HEAT IS WARMER - Air from a natural gas furnace is up to 35 degrees warmer than air from an electric heat pump, so you and your family feels warmer, faster.

NATURAL GAS GIVES YOU GREATER COMFORT CONTROL - Electronic monitoring systems on two-stage furnaces and high-efficiency systems maintain your home's temperature within one degree of the thermostat setting. There's less of a hot or cold temperature swing.

NATURAL GAS GIVES YOU HEAT YOU CAN COUNT ON - If you invest in an electric heat pump, you will need a secondary heating system whenever the temperature drops below the 35°-40°F range. Natural gas furnaces are reliable even in the coldest weather.

THE SAVINGS ADVANTAGE - STANDARD AND HIGH-EFFICIENCY FORCED-AIR FURNACES lessen heat loss and increase operating efficiency. Efficiency ratings of 78% to 89% (Standard) and 90% or greater (High-Efficiency) mean lower long-term operating costs.

TWO-STAGE FURNACES use less fuel by operating at low speed during mild temperatures and at higher speeds only when temperatures drop.

THE LONG LIFE ADVANTAGE - Natural gas heating systems are built to last. The average life of a natural gas heating system is typically longer than the average life of an electric heat pump. Year after year, you can depend on the comfort and efficiency of natural gas heat.
