There are several great reasons to consider switching from oil to natural gas as a way to heat water and run other appliances:

Natural Gas Efficiently Dries Clothes
• As oil prices climb, natural gas looks more and more cost-effective as a means to heat water and run other appliances.
• Oil must be paid for in advance, while natural gas in only paid for after use, and only as much as you use, no more an no less.
• No oil deliveries needed, the gas is constantly available through the gas line that is permanently attached to your home.
• Natural gas is plentiful, right here in the United States. About 2/3 of our oil supply comes from outside the country. Analysts believe there is about 100 years’ worth of gas right here at home.
• Natural gas is the method of choice whether you are heating your home, heating water, cooking, and/or drying clothes.
For all these reasons and more, IDT Energy believes consumers should consider making the switch from oil to natural gas.

What is a cool roof? It’s a roof which can make your entire house more energy efficient by reflecting back the heat of the sun rather than absorbing the heat and transferring it into your home. As a result your roof stays cooler and you need less energy from your air conditioning system to keep cool.
Consider installing a cool roof and:
• Reduce air pollution and smog in your city. Using less electricity creates less of a burden on power plants.
• Preserve your roof so it lasts longer.
• Save money on your electricity bill.
• Minimize the effects of “heat islands” in suburbs, towns and cities.
