Sharon and Fred Stephenson, long-time residents of Brussels, converted their home to natural gas over a year ago by installing a fireplace and water heater. They have since added another gas fireplace upstairs. Previously, they heated their home with electric baseboards and radiant ceiling heat. With the gas heat, Sharon believes the "house is warmer, and more comfortable." This is very important to Sharon, a Sales Manager with Avon, because she does a lot of work from home. Sharon also said that they "do not have any moisture problems on their windows" since installing natural gas heat. In addition to increased comfort, Sharon is happy with natural gas because she "is saving a couple of hundred dollars a month through winter." In fact, she believes that her total energy bills are "about 40% less with natural gas." Sharon and Fred "like dealing with local people" so they contacted John Pennington, a Union Gas Member Dealer, to help with their conversion. According to Sharon, "John came out to see us when it was convenient for us and he took the time to explain all of our options." As for service, Sharon said "they cleaned up after so that you wouldn't know they were there." "John even came out on a Sunday night to talk to us about our pilot light," commented Sharon. The Stephensons certainly enjoyed dealing with John Pennington. "If anyone asks," Sharon said, "I'll tell them to go see John." If you are interested in conversion to natural gas, call John D.
