We think everyone deserves a little (or a lot of) natural gas in their life, so we’re connecting as many people as possible for free – saving you around $2,000 in connection costs. If you live in Wellington, Taranaki, Hawke’s Bay or Manawatu and meet the criteria, you can apply for a free natural gas connection. That’s a great head start toward getting the ultimate in comfort, control and cost at your place.

In brief, the free connection criteria is based on these three factors:

1. Your home is situated within 40 metres of the nearest gas main in your street
2. You will connect either gas hot water or central heating (or both!)
3. Access between the gas main in your street and your home is uncomplicated

Once you have a free gas connection, do you know just how many things in your home can be powered by natural gas? Power up your hot water, heating and cooking - both indoors and outdoors. In fact, natural gas can take care of around 70% of a home’s energy needs. Think endless hot baths and showers along with luxurious whole-home heating. You can cook like a professional with the controlled instant flame and visible heat of gas. And outdoors, connect your pool and spa heating, along with gas fires and bbqs.

And natural gas is affordable. At around one third the price of electricity per energy unit, the more natural gas you use instead of electricity, the more you can save on your energy bills.
