SEASON WINTER 2017
NATURAL GAS–
Santa may never leave.
Warmth. Family. Togetherness. Spread the Christmas spirit through-out your home with natural gas. A natural gas furnace provides warmer heat, faster—the perfect recipe for cozy. Hang stockings next to a beautiful natural gas fireplace—and forget the hauling, storing and clean-up of wood. Plus, outdo last year’s turkey-and-fixings with the even heat and precise control of natural gas cooking.
Your Gift to the Globe.
Clean, green and far more efficient,
natural gas conserves energy and helps reduce pollution all year-round.
Transform your Christmas wish list with natural gas.
