Natural gas furnaces come with energy efficiency of 95% or even higher, delivering the warmth you rely on, while using less energy. Up to $1,800 in rebates can help you make the upgrade. See details at nwnatural.com/ways-to-save/r…

Unexpected smell? We add a safe, non-toxic odorant to natural gas with a scent resembling rotten eggs. If you smell it, leave the building immediately, then call us 24/7 at 800-882-3377 or call 911.

During winter, we suggest checking your furnace filter every month. If it's dirty, change or clean it. A dirty filter slows air flow, makes the heating system work harder and wastes energy. See more energy-saving ideas at nwnatural.com/tips
