There is a misconception that electricity is cleaner than natural gas since there are no emissions from the electricity used in your home. Some think electricity is also more efficient. However, when you consider how electricity is generated and distributed to your home, natural gas is by far the more efficient energy.
Natural gas is a high-density energy that works harder with less waste. Consider this fact: Out of every 100 units of energy used to generate electricity, only about 30 of those units actually get delivered to your home. In comparison, over 90% of the natural gas produced from the gas well is delivered directly to your house compared to only 30% of source energy that goes into generating electricity. Now, that's pretty efficient.
