How Gas Is Used


Appliance Survey



Natural gas accounts for about one fourth of all energy used in the United States. Natural gas is used for heating buildings, heating water, cooking, drying clothes, lighting, and industrial purposes. Some household appliances that use natural gas include:

  • Furnaces
  • Pool and spa heaters
  • Clothes dryers
  • Outdoor lights
  • Barbecues
  • Water heaters
  • Stoves/ranges
  • Fireplace logs
  • Patio heaters and fire pits
Do you have any of these appliances in your home? If so, do they run on natural gas? (For clues on how to recognize a natural gas appliance, take the Appliance Survey.)
