It is extremely important that you adhere to the building code in your area and follow the manufacture. s instructions for installation and operation. Gas lighting harkens back to a more romantic age. In fact, many gas companies began by providing gaslight service. While outdoor gaslights add a distinctive, decorative flair to any home, modern natural gaslights have many fuel-saving features that help enhance operation and your security. You can use
gaslights to illuminate darkened areas around your home with the
brilliance of a 100-watt light bulb. But, unlike electric light
bulbs, they won't attract insects. Gaslights can be mounted on
posts for yard patio and front yard installations. They can be
wall mounted for entryways and garages. Outdoor cooking at its best.... Today's natural gas grills have more features and options than ever. These include separate cooking areas with separate control, warming and baking racks. There's also the convenience of never running out as most of us have done when using propane or charcoal. Connecting and disconnecting a natural gas grill is easy with the new "quick disconnect" option. Natural Gas grill's complements today's
busy lifestyles by eliminating the long warm-up time associated with
charcoal and the inconvenience of refilling propane tanks. And, you
also have greater flexibility because you control the cooking
temperature. Homeowners may
wish to improve their swimming pool enjoyment with the use of a gas
pool heater. An unheated pool will stay generally at about the
average outdoor temperature. For the typical user, comfortable pool
water temperatures are 78
degrees F to 82
degrees F in spring and fall and 76
degrees F to
78
degrees F in winter. Spa temperatures can average near or over 100
degrees F,
depending on the user. The average yearly cost for heating a
residential pool using an electrical resistance pool heater is about
2.5 times the cost of using a natural gas pool heater. Spa heaters
run about the same. Enjoy outdoor living no matter how cold it gets with a warm, inviting gas patio heater. Now you can have the warmth and ambiance of your indoor fireplace with you when you head outside. Even in the warmest parts of the U.S., an outdoor fire is a welcome ally in dispelling the chill of the nighttime air. In the cooler parts of the county, there is the added benefit of being able to extend the outdoor season, both in spring and in fall. Gas, both natural and LP, has been
fueling this trend. The fire goes on at the touch of a button, and
off just as easily, once your party has moved indoors. There's no
mess, no fuss, no smoldering embers left -- Just warmth and the magic
of a campfire. Standby generators give customers an opportunity to continue their normal, daily activities during the occasional electric utility outage. Natural gas generators used as a backup to your home's primary electric source can resume your home's power in 10 to 15 seconds. Your home security system, water pump, and garage door opener are a few basic home devices that would not work during a power interruption. Chesapeake Utilities can work with you to size and install the appropriate size generator to provide you and your family the necessary power during emergencies.
