The comedian Bob Hope is credited with delivering this famous line on his radio show in 1939. While it literally described the conversion from wood stoves to gas stoves in homes across America over the previous 20 years, the comedic meaning was clear: “You’re making a smart choice.” Thanks to a partnership with Clearwater Gas, Starkey Ranch residents will be able to make smart energy choices for their homes. Energy-efficient gas water heaters, either tank or tankless models, will come standard with every home. Masters of the kitchen and novice cooks alike will rejoice at the option of gas cooktops. Homes will be piped for gas dryers, too, and buyers can choose other upgrades such as gas pool or spa heaters. Natural gas equals huge energy savings and a major efficiency upgrade for our residents.
