⏰Beat the Clock: Secure Your Natural Gas Home Before the 2026 Deadline

If you’re planning to build a new home in New York State and want natural gas for heating, cooking, hot water, or a cozy fireplace—now is the time to act.

Starting January 1, 2026, all new residential construction in New York State will be required to go all-electric. This means that after December 31, 2025, natural gas will no longer be an option for newly built homes.

Why Choose Natural Gas?

Natural gas has long been a preferred energy source for homeowners—and for good reason:

• Efficient and reliable heating – Natural gas furnaces and boilers heat your home quickly and evenly, even during the harshest Upstate winters.
  
  
• Precise cooking performance – Ask any chef: gas stoves offer instant heat and superior temperature control.
  
  
• Lower utility bills – Natural gas is often more affordable than electricity when it comes to heating and hot water.
  
  
• Instant hot water – Gas-powered tankless water heaters deliver hot water on demand, efficiently and reliably.
  
  
• Warmth and ambiance – A natural gas fireplace adds charm and comfort without the mess or hassle of wood.
