Natural Gas vs Alternative Fuels
Although natural gas is a popular
energy choice in areas where it is available (see City/Town
Gas Territory link), it is not the only choice, particularly
in New Hampshire, where fuel oil is used to heat approximately
50% of NH homes. Natural gas is used in approximately
15 % and propane in about 10%. Electricity, wood, kerosene,
coal and others make up the balance of residential heating
fuel choices. Industrial users may also choose heavier
No. 6 residual oil as an alternative to natural gas.
