Natural Gas Storage Water Heaters
High-efficiency natural gas storage water heaters are an easy choice for energy savings, performance, and reliability. If you need a new gas storage water heater, ask for one that has an Energy Factor of at least 0.62 and start saving money. Your investment will also help the planet by preventing carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere. Read more...

Natural Gas Tankless Water Heaters
By heating water only when it's needed, ENERGY STAR qualified natural gas tankless water heaters decrease water heating expenses by 30%, while also providing continuous hot water delivery. Gas tankless models are a great choice for new construction and major remodeling, but are also becoming popular as a replacement for natural gas storage water heaters. Read more...

Natural Gas Clothes Dryers
A dryer is typically the second-largest electricity-using appliance after the refrigerator, costing about $85 to operate annually. When shopping for a new clothes dryer, look for one with a moisture sensor that automatically shuts off the machine when your clothes are dry. Not only will this save energy, it will save the wear and tear on your clothes caused by over-drying. Read more...

Smart Low-Flow Showerheads
Installing a new smart low-flow showerhead is a simple and inexpensive way to reduce your carbon footprint. Best of all, the benefits go beyond doing your part to save our environment; you'll also be saving money by lowering monthly water and natural gas bills. Read more...
