Black Friday Savings with Affordable Natural Gas

  • Stephen Rupp
  • It’s Thanksgiving season, and you know what that means – Black Friday shopping is just around the corner! Everyone seeing those prices slashed as we budget for Christmas, finding a sale at your favorite boutique or a BOGO special at the shoe store, or even cutting costs on essentials through couponing your way to a lower grocery bill. A good deal is essential to the holiday season. You can even find savings in surprising places like your natural gas bill.  

    Families that use natural gas for heating, cooking and clothes drying save an average of $1,132 per year when compared to homes using electricity for those applications. Why? Natural gas is 3.5 times more affordable than electricity, and it’s only getting cheaper with prices projected to be 1/3 to 1/2 the price of other fuels through 2050. Prices for natural gas have also remained stable over the years, offering predictable savings you can count on month after month.  

    It’s not just good for the wallet, natural gas is good for efficiency, too! According to a recent survey, North American utility companies invested $1.51 billion in efficiency programs as part of their commitment to reducing emissions while maintaining reliability. This means that customers can feel good about their contribution to efficiency and environmental efforts without breaking the bank.  

    This savings fuels communities across the country, helping families enjoy reliable cooking and space and water heating without breaking the bank. So, as you’re on the lookout for Black Friday deals this season, don’t forget to add natural gas to your list of discounts, keeping costs low in the home so you can go out and take advantage of deals at all of your favorite shops.
