The Citizen, 1996-10-09, Page 6Meet John McDonald, owner of McDonald Lumber and long-time Brussels resident Last Fall, John was one of the first residents of Brussels to convert to natural gas. He was so excited about natural gas that he converted his furnace, water heater, fireplace, stove, barbecue, and space heater for his garage. John began the conversion process a few years ago. He heard that natural gas was on the way, so he replaced his electric furnace with a natural gas furnace. He ran the furnace, his fireplace, and space heater on propane until natural gas was available. According to John the entire conversion process has ((saved him at least 40-50% on his energy bills." And the entire process to convert the "equipment took only one day." John has also installed two high efficiency natural gas furnaces at his 14,000 sq. ft. hardware store. He says, "Those furnaces have saved my business at least 60% on my fuel bills." John and his wife, Merilyn, say natural gas provides them "with a more comfortable, warmer household," and that "the Union Gas personnel we dealt with were good guys and there were no problems." "In fact," John said "we have recommended some of our neighbours switch to gas." If you would like to find out how easy it is to start enjoying the benefits of natural gas, simply call Union Gas or your local Union Gas Member Dealer. Just like John McDonald did.
