Kirk’s Corner Goodbye winter, hello spring & summer Now that we're free of the brutal winter this heating season brought, we’re reminded once again about the benefit of having natural gas to heat our homes. “Our safe and reliable natural gas withstood the deep freeze this winter, with no outages for our custome rs,” said Kirk Pierce, Energy Efficiency Consultant. In addition to reliability, your customers can also count on the affordability natural gas provides with prices that will continue to stay low in the foreseeable future. If you’re replacing a 90+ condensate line and want to prevent future freezing, use a condensate pump to push water out of the lines and use heat tape to promote drainage. A helpful reminder Lastly, make sure you're giving your customers the best possible deal — by double-checking with your manufacturers to see if they have rebates available in addition to our great high-efficiency rebates! If you have any questions on helping your customers, please reach out to me. Looking Ahead
