What are the Benefits of Gas Installations?
Not only does gas offer more delicious cooking by providing accurate temperature control, there are many more positives which not only benefit your family, but society at large.
During a possible blackout, electric appliances will not function until the suburb’s central system is fixed. However, if your home is connected to natural gas, you are more likely to have access to energy at all times. In fact, according to Australian Gas Networks, “when it comes to reliability Australia’s natural gas network experiences only one unplanned outage, on average every 40 years”.
Economically, natural gas also comes on top. Unlike electricity where increased consumption increases your bills, the more gas appliances you install, the more you can save. While gas installation is usually higher than electric, the cost per unit of gas decreases as consumption increases. Choosing all gas appliances can save you up to up to 30 per cent on bills!
In regards to sustainably, natural gas uses fewer greenhouse gases than an electric oven. Whilst still a fossil fuel, the chemical structure of gas is quite different from coal, producing less emissions. Gas appliances are proven to be more efficient when used. For example, food heats up faster during cooking, which reduces preparation time. This is also the case for heating a space or heating up water, with less time required. Overall, natural gas results in a more eco-friendly family home, with a smaller carbon footprint.
Alan Oxfords’ experienced plumbers and electricians recommend starting your home’s transition to gas with a gas cooktop installation. Cooking with natural gas is a much more efficient option, as it requires less energy to deliver heat than electricity. No matter if you are looking for a gas plumber in Parramatta, or a gas plumber in the Hills District, Alan Oxfords’ highly experienced teams are available to help you install, repair and maintain your home’s electricity and water.
Are all Plumbers Qualified to Install Gas?
Gas-fitting is a specialised field of plumbing, meaning not every common plumber is gas-qualified. While a lot of plumbers can offer gas services, it is crucial to hire an experienced gas plumber, as gas can be very dangerous.
If you are unsure, you can ask to see your plumber’s license, which outlines the types of work they are qualified to carry out. At Alan Oxford’s we have experienced, fully licensed gas plumbers ready to help you with any gas installations, repairs or maintenance.
