Benefits of Natural Gas
Although the impact on energy bills will be a key consideration when considering switching to gas there are other reasons people opt for natural gas. These include instant heat and hot water, never running out of oil, or saving space as there is no need for an oil tank in the garden or water cylinder in the hot press. With natural gas you there is no need for a lump payment. A range of payment options (direct debit, on receipt of bill, cash/cheque , Pay as You Go) are all available.
