Natural Gas 101
Getting Started With Natural Gas
Welcome to Gas South’s helpful guide to all things natural gas. Here, you’ll find information on shopping for natural gas, how to sign up for service, paying your bill, gas safety and more.
What is Natural Gas?
Composed of hydrogen and carbon from the remains of ancient plants and animals, natural gas is an efficient, clean-burning fuel that humans have relied upon for centuries. With more than half of new homes being equipped to use natural gas, it's becoming an increasingly popular choice for homeowners seeking cost-effective energy.
How Natural Gas Is Used at Home
From heating and cooking to powering appliances like dryers and air conditioners, natural gas is used in many ways in modern homes as an affordable option that often beats electricity in efficiency.
Safety Tips for New Natural Gas Users
Natural gas offers a world of benefits, including safety, but there are still natural gas leak detection and safety tips to consider. As part of this, regularly maintaining natural gas appliances will help keep you safe and boost long-term efficiency and performance.
First time shopping for natural gas?
If you’re new to the world of using natural gas, you’ll be happy to know it’s one the cleanest, most efficient, abundant and affordable sources of fuel around. The other good news is that you have the option to choose your natural gas provider as a Georgia resident.
In some states, utility companies run a monopoly on natural gas, so you never have the option to shop. But in Georgia, natural gas companies compete for your business, which means you get better rates and service.
What to Expect When You Sign Up
If you’ve done a bit of research and chosen Gas South as your provider, you’re in good company. More and more people choose Georgia’s highest-rated natural gas provider every day to meet the natural gas needs—learn more about starting new gas service with Gas South.
