You'll be doing your bit towards a more sustainable New Zealand

Did you know, that Kiwis using piped natural gas directly in their homes, produce less than 1% of New Zealand’s total greenhouse emissions? These homes also are helping to ease the dependency on using coal or natural gas electricity generation during peak times like winter, when lake and wind levels are low and renewable sources are not enough to supply household demand.
