Natural gas heats well in most winters. Cons: Your home needs municipal gas. Gas heaters need more upkeep. Carbon monoxide exposure and explosions are rare but possible.
Natural gas furnaces heat 25°F hotter than electric ones. Natural gas stoves give quick heat, accurate temperature control, and power backup. Natural gas dryers are faster and cheaper than electric ones.
Natural gas is available domestically, has a distribution network, is cheap, and reduces emissions.
A licensed gasfitter must install and maintain gas heaters. Unsafe heaters can cause house fires and carbon monoxide poisoning. To protect your family, have a gasfitter inspect your gas heater every two years.
