Save Today Save Tomorrow with Natural Gas • Convert Appliances • Save Money • Tell your Friends Natural gas offers price stability and year-round savings now and for the foreseeable future. IHS CERA estimates that by 2035, home-owners relying on electricity for heating and other appliances will pay on a national average four times the monthly energy costs of homeowners using natural gas. (American Gas Assoc. and IHS Cambridge Energy Research Assoc.) The savings are real. There is no time like the present to convert appliances in your home. Converting an electric water heater or clothes dryer to natural gas can save you money on your utility bills year after year because of the high efficiency of natural gas appliances and the low cost of natural gas. Tell your friends and neighbors about how much you enjoy using clean, comfortable, affordable natural gas in your home. They may want to convert to natural gas and experience the savings and comfort for themselves! Visit nationalfuelgas.com for more information about how saving today can save tomorrow.

Emerald Ash Borer Threat in Erie Region

It is hard to believe that such a small insect like the Emerald Ash Borer can destroy such a beautiful large tree species. Before your ash trees show decline, contact a local Certified Arborist or Landscape Architect to be sure they are safe. Give all of your trees a check-up for health and structure to prevent unwanted property damage and save money in the long run. Note the characteristic “D” shaped emergence hole and the size and color of the beetle. (Coin photo Lauren Heartsill Dowdle) (Tree photo Anthony Gingrich)
