Posted on March 23, 2016 by

In 2014, natural gas efficiency programs in the United States increased spending by 10.4 % compared to the previous year. As a result, natural gas utilities helped customers save 175 trillion Btus of energy and offset 9.1 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions that year according to a new report. The Natural Gas Efficiency Programs Report presents data from the American Gas Association and the Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE) outlining how utilities are helping customers save even more on what is already an efficient and affordable energy choice for many Americans.

Last year, natural gas utilities in the United States budgeted $1.46 billion for efficiency Capture2programs and they continue to increase their commitment to delivering energy savings by providing valuable tools, incentives and information to help their customers understand and reduce their energy usage and carbon footprint.

Contact your local natural gas utility to see if they offer home energy audits, weatherization kits and programmable thermostats, as well as provide materials on the latest technology in high-efficiency natural gas appliances.
