Why Choose Natural Gas?
- Lower your energy costs. Check out our Gas Savings Calculator at BGE.com/Calc to compare your current and potential energy costs for heating, cooking and more.
- Work with a variety of appliances. Your cooking range, water heater, clothes dryer and fireplace can all be converted to gas. You can also use gas outdoors for lighting and grills.
- Improve comfort and warming efficiency. Your water heats faster, your clothes dry faster with fewer wrinkles and your home warms more efficiently with natural gas appliances and HVAC equipment.*
- Connect for free.† Simply install at least one standard gas appliance—furnace, fireplace, clothes dryer, water heater, cooking range or outdoor grill—in your home within a year of your connection.

†The first 150 feet of service line from the gas main to your home is free with the installation of one standard gas appliance (space heating, cooking, water heating and/or clothes drying) within the first year. Additional charges include the service line cost in excess of 150 feet, Gas Service Application Charge and fixed monthly Customer Charge. You are responsible for the cost of having a contractor install internal piping and for the cost of new appliance(s). If you do not already have a gas main installed in front of your home, or if the gas main is at a higher-pressure level than used to serve new residential customers, this offer does not apply. Offer valid through the end of 2022. Offers and fees may change. Visit BGE.com/Connection for more information.
