Electricity Can't Match the comfort of Natural Gas The whole point of heating your home is to be comfortable in winter right? Well, nothing beats the comfort of a natural gas heating system. Unlike heat pump, natural gas heating systems don't just "moderate" the temperature, they really heat you home. The warmest air a heat pump can deliver is 90 degrees -that's less than your body temperature. With a natural gas heating system, the air coming out can be as warm as 120 degrees. And they provide that warmth in a way that's better for the environment. The Environmental Impact of Heat Pumps Vs. Natural Gas Heat decreases your carbon footprint by 73% 11,880 fewer miles driven annually is the equivalent of heating with natural gas instead of a heat pump. choosing a natural gas heating system is equivalent to planting 1.24 acres of trees. The electricity generated to run a heat pump produces 16,558 lbs. of CO2 per year while natural gas produces only 4,430 lbs. W.G.
