Environmental Impact
Natural gas is a clean-burning fuel. As more and more homeowners are becoming conscientious of their environmental impact, switching to natural gas is a logical choice. Oil produces more emissions that can negatively affect our ozone layer. Switching to natural gas means that you are lessening your carbon footprint. It may seem like a small step, but if more people made environmentally friendly choices, it could add up to a significant impact.
Save Money
Natural gas is also less expensive compared to oil. You can lower your energy costs when it comes to heating your home as well as using any other gas appliances. We know that the initial switch is a financial investment, but the savings that you will enjoy in the decades to come can easily balance out the upfront cost of making the switch.
Oil costs also tend to go up and down significantly over the course of a year, while natural gas maintains a more stable price. Overall, natural gas is a more affordable choice compared to oil. If nothing else, you’ll be able to budget better by anticipating your natural gas costs from month to month without having to factor in potential increases.
Protect Your Appliances
Oil tends to leave behind more residue compared to natural gas. Heaters and appliances that use oil may need to be cleaned out more frequently to prevent problems with operation. Natural gas doesn’t leave behind as much residue, so you can go longer in between maintenance steps and won’t have to worry about the potential for appliances to have a shorter lifespan.
Boost Indoor Air Quality
The same residue that gets left behind inside your heater and other appliances is also entering your air. Oil can lower your indoor air quality by putting out soot and black dust. Even if you can’t see these particles, you’re breathing them in every day.
Aside from these harmful particles themselves, they can also attract allergens and bacteria. As these particles circulate through your home, they’ll also put you at a greater risk of getting sick or experiencing allergy symptoms.
You may not sleep as well at night and may not feel as healthy as you usually do. While an air purifier can help boost your indoor air quality, it’s better to make the switch to natural gas and reduce the number of particles in the air to begin with.
