Give Your Homebuyers More Benefits with Natural Gas



# Don’t give homebuyers the cold shoulder. Natural gas furnaces deliver air at a comfortable 120 to 125 degrees Fahrenheit versus electric heat pumps, which deliver air closer to body temperature at a much cooler 90 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, natural gas water heaters feature first-hour recovery rates that are faster than electric models and a natural gas tankless water heater provides continuous hot water on demand.

#Save homebuyers money by installing high-efficiency natural gas appliances instead of electric. In terms of operating costs and full fuel cycle efficiency, natural gas is simply a great value. Thanks to greater energy efficiency there is less strain on the household energy budget, positioning home builders to recommend further builder upgrades.

#Because natural gas pipelines are buried underground, they are less susceptible to severe weather that impacts electric power lines. With natural gas available for each new home, pre-wired panels for standby generators are a premium up-sell opportunity.
