But there are many other ways to utilize natural gas in your home or business to add even more convenience and efficiency to your life. Here are some examples: Home and Business Standby Generators - When electricity fails, natural gas is there to keep your household operating and your family safe. Get peace of mind and automatic protection during a power outage by installing a natural gas standby generator with automatic transfer for your home or business. These generators come in different sizes and put the control back in your hands. Larger generators can power your entire home in the event of an outage or you can choose a smaller generator and power only what you deem necessary. Clothes Dryer – Natural gas clothes dryers can save you money in energy costs compared to electric models. Using a natural gas clothes dryer also dries your clothes quicker than an electric model because natural gas clothes dryers use a large quantity of dry, absorbent air which passes through your clothes and dries them more quickly. 1 Outdoor Grills – By converting your outdoor cooking grill to natural gas, you will never have to worry about running out of propane again. With a natural gas cooking grill, you can focus on cooking and entertaining your guests and not how much propane is left in the tank. The continuous flow of natural gas lets you focus on being the master of your backyard barbeques. Plus it is better for the environment because of fewer greenhouse gas emissions. Fireplace Insert or Gas Logs - Switch from a wood burning fireplace to a natural gas fireplace insert or a gas log set and never deal with the hassle of cleaning out the fireplace again. No more trips to the wood pile on a cold day to stock up on firewood. Switch today and save the firewood for camping! Outdoor Patio Heaters – Extend your outdoor season with a natural gas patio heater. A single natural gas patio heater can provide warmth for an outdoor area up to 200 square feet and keep your outdoor spaces comfortable for family and guests. Outdoor Fire Pits – Outdoor fire pits are another way to provide warmth and comfort to your outdoor spaces. With the constant supply of clean and efficient natural gas to fuel your fire pit, you will keep the festivities and ambiance going for as long as you want to. Lighting – Natural gas lamps bring warmth and charm to walkways, driveways, entryways and outdoor living spaces. Natural gas Tiki Torches create a wonderful ambiance and inviting atmosphere.
