With electricity and plumbing holding such prominent places in your day-to-day life, it can be easy to forget just how much your gas lines do. Though some homes in Edmonton have electrically powered water heaters and furnace systems, the heating in most homes is powered with natural gas. Some of the other appliances that may be powered by gas include stoves, clothes dryers, barbecues and fireplaces. There’s a very good reason that local homeowners and business owners need the services of a qualified gas fitter: Edmonton gas-powered appliances tend to be less expensive to operate than electric appliances, at least in Alberta.
