The ease of space and water heating in one system. Also known as a hydronic heating system, an ENERGY STARⓇ Most Efficient natural gas boiler is:
- Reliable - keep your home and water warm anytime of the year. Regular maintenance will ensure safe operation.
- Modern - use a digital control pad to operate. They also operate quietly.
- Functional - floor standing or wall-mounted options available.
- Energy-efficient - condensing models with a minimum 90% efficiency rating will cost less to operate and can reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to an older model.

Clothes Dryer
Keep your clothes looking new and smelling fresh. A natural gas clothes dryer is:
- Convenient - gentle, moist heat means less fabric softener and less wrinkles.
- Safe - moisture sensors detect when clothes are dry and will turn off the appliance.
- Energy-efficient - heat dissipates faster and clothes take half the time to dry compared to an electric dryer.
Cooktop or Range
Bake, broil, roast and saute like a master chef. A natural gas range is:
- Reliable - you can still cook when the power goes out.
- Precise - accurate temperature control and a moist method of cooking means food won't dry out.
- Convenient - you won't need to wait. An instant-on/off clean burning flame will heat on-demand and will cool down just as fast.
- Safe - front or side-mounted burn dials eliminate the need to reach over the burner. The automatic ignition will turn off the gas when the flame goes out.
- Functional - venting is not required but a vent hood is recommended.
- Energy-efficient - costs less to operate than an electric model and produces less greenhouse gas emissions.
Fireplaces
Sit back and relax in a hurry. A natural gas fireplace is:
- Convenient - control the temperature with a remote thermostat. Create a warm glow without hauling any wood.
- Clean - no smoke, soot, ashes or sparks.
- Safe - most models feature a heat screen protector. A built-in shut-off valve means you pay less for your home insurance compared to a wood-burning option.
- Functional - most models feature radiant and convection heat. A blower fan allows you to warm areas such as a basement or addition.
- Energy-efficient - costs less to operate than a wood, propane or electric fireplace and produces less greenhouse gas emissions.
