Electric and gas options for heating and cooking

Our electricity and natural gas options can be good alternatives to using heating oil, propane, or other fuels for heating your home, fueling your hot water tank, drying your clothes, and fueling your oven and cooktop.

Convenience

With electricity and gas, there are no deliveries, no gaps in service, no negotiating with your oil or propane company, and no prepaying. Electricity and natural gas are delivered on-demand directly to your home. Bills come at the end of the month and are based on precisely how much electricity and natural gas you used.

Affordability

Natural gas tends to be the most affordable option for your heating and cooking needs. Whether you choose electricity or natural gas, Rhode Island Energy offers a range of assistance programs to help you manage your bills.

Incentives for appliances

Rhode Island Energy offers a variety of tips for reducing energy use and incentives for new electric and gas appliances that are energy efficient. That means that these appliances use less electricity or natural gas to heat your home and water, dry your clothes, and cook your food, and less energy means lower bills.

Environmental considerations

As required by state law, all electricity is increasingly generated by clean and renewable energy resources. Although Rhode Island Energy delivers electricity, you can choose your supplier that best meets your electricity needs.

Discover electric heat pumps
