What Are The Benefits Of Natural Gas Heating?

Gas is Convenient

With natural gas you don’t need to worry about reordering or running out of oil. Its supplied straight to your home so you can remove the oil tank and save space. Also there is no need for water storage so you can get rid of the water tank in the roof space and hot water cylinder in the hot press saving more space.

Its Instant

Instant heat and a constant supply of hot water means there is no need to worry about an immersion heater or running out.

Range of Payment Methods

There is no need for a lump sum payment. You can choose how and when to pay. You can pay quarterly, monthly or Pay as You Go which can help keep track of the gas you use. A range of payment options (direct debit, on receipt of bill, cash/cheque , Paypoint) are all available.

Gas companies are regulated and have to hold a licence to provide you with energy. They must have Codes of Practice and Guaranteed Standards of Service to ensure they provide a good service, deal with your fairly, handle complaints effectively and provide specific services to vulnerable consumers.
