Increase profits. Sell homes faster.
According to a 2010 Special Report prepared by the National Association of Home Builders, new single-family homes with natural gas heating and other natural gas appliances sell on average with 6% higher pricing than homes built for the same electric appliances.
The report also shows that an overwhelming majority of builders agree that new homes with natural gas equipment generally sell quicker than a new home without any.
