Among its many advantages is it decreases energy bills for homeowners and can increase the value of your home. At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlanticphac.com\/about-us.html\">Atlantic Plumbing, Heating, and Air Conditioning<\/a>, we always recommend our clients choose natural gas, as it\u2019s a decision that pays off in the long run. Homeowners can save up to 67 percent on energy bills by switching. If you decide to make the switch after this reading, look no further than our <strong>Yorktown plumbers<\/strong>. We can assist you with the installation of natural gas to your home for an appliance or home heating system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Make the Switch?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The reasons are obvious. You will save significantly on costs for heating and water heating. Additionally, your home will get warmer faster and more efficiently (we\u2019ll soon elaborate on this), which every homeowner in Yorktown and the surrounding areas can appreciate. The advantages don\u2019t stop there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safer Than the Alternatives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The safety of your family is important to you, right? Of course, it is. Why would you choose a more harmful energy source to heat your home, such as propane, when you have the option of choosing natural gas, which is significantly safer? Because propane is heavier than air, it does not dissolve into air or exit closed spaces easily, whereas natural gas is lighter than air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While both produce carbon monoxide, natural gas mostly produces water vapor. In fact, it produces virtually no carbon monoxide. Additionally, a furnace fueled by natural gas produces no airborne particles and dissolved solids. It produces little sulfur dioxide. Because these things all have negative impacts on one\u2019s health, it\u2019s important to know which energy source is safer for you and your family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Better for the Environment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Propane may not be as harmful to the environment as people once believed, but that doesn\u2019t mean you should choose it over natural gas. In addition to being safer for the home, natural gas is also better for the environment than other energy sources, such as heating oil and electricity produced from fossil fuel. Because it produces very little carbon dioxide, you can heat up your home and decrease your carbon footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, by using natural gas over electricity, we can all reduce our dependency on electricity, which has a negative impact on the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Dependable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that gas lines run underground? This is a lot more dependable than powerlines, which can easily be downed by a severe storm. As a result, you can depend on natural gas to provide heat to your home all winter long. Power outages will have no effect on homeowners, as their natural gas furnace will continue to run, protecting your pipes from exposure to freezing temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Atlantic PHAC, we are a Virginia Natural Gas Qualified Dealer. We can install an extension of your current gas line to any appliance such as your stove or water heater. With an A+ rating by the Better Business Bureau, we are the company to trust in the Virginia Peninsula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Affordable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, natural gas costs less than heating oil, propane, and electricity, as you only pay for what is used each month. Compare this to propane, which has an upfront cost no matter how much is used. Its efficiency, which is largely due to the modern design of most natural gas furnaces, can help reduce your energy bills and save you more each month. In addition to this, you spend less on fuel costs because burning natural gas is typically less expensive than burning other fuel sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what are you waiting for? If you haven\u2019t already done so, it may be time to make the switch. The winter months are quickly upon us, so there\u2019s no time like the present to contact a reliable Yorktown plumbing company and convert to a natural gas heating system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact Atlantic Plumbing, Heating, and Air Conditioning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team has proudly served the Virginia Peninsula since 1977.
