Join us in celebrating Public Natural Gas Week

Posted

Public Natural Gas Week – October 2nd-8th – is here, and every year around this time, we at Lake Apopka Natural Gas District (LANGD) look forward to celebrating it as a nationwide observance that highlights the many benefits of natural gas and the value of having a public natural gas utility in our community.

As such, we are dedicating this week to sharing with our community the unmatched advantages of natural gas and the cost benefits of natural gas appliances.

For example, did you know that natural gas is the cleanest-burning fossil fuel available (Forbes)? It is an odorless mixture of simple hydrocarbon compounds, usually found deep in underground reservoirs. 

A commonly sought-after benefit of natural gas is that chefs (professional and amateur home cooks alike) have access to instant heat and have better control over temperatures, helping them to cook their dishes evenly and to perfection. Our customers also enjoy the convenience and reliability of being able to tap into their energy supply whenever needed – even when there is an electric outage. Natural gas also saves our customers money by doubling appliance efficiency – putting an average of $800 back into their pockets annually, as compared to those who solely use electricity.

With energy efficiency also in the spotlight following the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act (Oct. 5 is Energy Efficiency Day), it’s important to note that energy efficiency is better realized with an energy mix of natural gas and electric, instead of a sole source.

As the premier natural gas provider in Apopka, Clermont, and Winter Garden, we at LANGD prioritize quality service and customer satisfaction, which means we maintain a close relationship with the community we serve each and every day.

Since 1959, we have strived to be a “good neighbor,” all while earning top industry honors, and developing new and innovative ways to support our customers. As an American Public Gas Association Gold System Overall Achievement Recognition Award recipient, the safe and reliable delivery of natural gas is the number one priority of every LANGD employee.

Transparency is also a priority of ours. That’s why with the recent increase in natural gas prices around the world, we want our customers to know that resulting rises in their utility bill are caused by the increased need for natural gas supply as we support our European partners and inflation. We are aware of this global issue and welcome any questions you may have about your bill because of it. 

To our customers, we thank you for supporting us, and as we look forward to continuing our service to you, we hope you join us in supporting natural gas as an invaluable energy source for our communities. 

To help celebrate Public Natural Gas Week, we invite all members of the community to stop by one of our three office locations from Monday, Oct. 3, through Friday, Oct. 7, to enjoy refreshments, pick up a 2023 calendar and learn more about the benefits of natural gas. District offices are located at 1320 Winter Garden-Vineland Road, Winter Garden; 38 N. Park Avenue, Apopka; and, 676 W. Montrose Street, Clermont.
