Imagine walking in the door after a nonstop day that started at the YMCA before work, then school pickups, ball practice drop-offs, a detour to The Summit for a few essentials, ball practice pickup—and scooping up another child for a sleepover.
The kids are hungry and you need to feed them, like, now. You reach for your gas stove, turn the knob and a steady flame appears like magic. Success! Bellies will be full sooner than later—and you might even have time to read a book before bed.
Speaking of reading, read on for more about how the benefits of natural gas save moms time in the kitchen (and beyond).
Why moms love cooking with natural gas
Cooking with natural gas can be a total game-changer for families juggling busy schedules and priorities, including spending quality time together.
Here are the top benefits for moms who use natural gas in the kitchen:
- Instant heat + precise temperature control for faster, more even cooking. (Pro chefs swear by it!)
- Energy efficiency + lower utility bills. (Who doesn’t love saving money?)
- Reliability, even during power outages. (You can count on having hot meals.)
“Natural gas appliances allow busy moms to make the most of their time at home. Convenience, reliability and affordability are essential for busy moms, and these qualities are benchmarks for natural gas at home.”
Shannon Jackson, Alabama Natural Gas Association Public Relations Co-Chair
Benefits of natural gas beyond the kitchen
Beyond putting food on the table, moms juggle many more priorities around the household. Natural gas can help there, too, powering water heaters, fireplaces and dryers. That equates to hot showers, cozy hearths and fresh laundry with the same cost savings and reliability.
With all the latest smart features, gas appliances are better than ever, according to the Alabama Natural Gas Association.
“Gas appliance technology continues to evolve, allowing moms to have the latest features while still utilizing natural gas as a preferred energy source in the home.
“Electronic ignitions allow moms to have the greatest control over their gas appliances—from energy-efficient vent-free and direct-vent fireplaces with smart thermostatic controls and embedded safety sensors to tankless water heaters that provide hot water on demand.”
Shannon Jackson, Alabama Natural Gas Association Public Relations Co-Chair
From quick meals to hot showers, natural gas helps keep your home running smoothly so you can focus on what really matters.
Must-know tips for safe use
While the benefits of natural gas are fantastic, it’s important to note simple safety measures to keep in mind when using it in your home.
- Install a carbon monoxide detector near your natural gas appliances + replace batteries annually.
- When cooking with gas, always turn on your vent fan before you start + keep it running on a high setting for the entire process.
- Keep any combustible materials away from your natural gas furnace + water heater.
- Do not hang anything on the pipes connected to your natural gas furnace + water heater.
- Always keep pot handles turned inward to prevent spills + burns.
- Keep stove burners clean + schedule a professional gas line inspection annually—or if your flames are ever gold instead of blue.
- If you have a vented gas fireplace, ensure the vent flue is open before lighting a fire.
While minding these tips, you can enjoy all the perks of natural gas without worry.
