Natural Gas vs Oil Prices

Get that huge oil tank out of your basement and start saving money on your utility bills by making the switch from oil to cleaner, more abundant natural gas from UGI Utilities.

Price Stability and Cost Savings

Natural gas, historically, has had more price stability than oil. The cost typically stays low and stable because it is widely available and domestically produced in the United States.

Oil prices are often expensive, and the cost must be pre-paid before use. On average, customers who heat with natural gas save hundreds of dollars per year with oil costing around 60% more to operate than natural gas.

No More Deliveries or Large Oil Tanks

Home heating oil requires time to await scheduled refills. You never have to worry about running out of natural gas because of forgetting to schedule a delivery. Natural gas is there when you need it. In addition to saving time and worry, you’ll also save space by removing that unsightly oil tank.

Cleaner Fuel with Less CO2 Emissions

Natural gas emits around 30% less carbon dioxide (CO₂) into the atmosphere than oil and is the cleanest-burning fossil fuel available. A switch from oil to gas will make the air in and outside your home cleaner.
