The data collected for 2013 provide a unique and comprehensive portrait
15、of the residential natural gas market. Detailed information is presented by state and region, including customers, market share, inventory additions from new homes, and conversions from alternative fuels. Company-specific data are reported in Appendices A, B and C. Appendix D presents natural gas ma
16、rket shares data for the metropolitan statistical areas. A total of 62 natural gas utility companies responded to this years survey, representing 46 percent of the total U.S. residential customers. These responses are a decrease from the 71 utilities that responded to last years survey. Company-spec
17、ific data were also derived from the Energy Information Administrations Form 176 database. Incorporated in the survey results are data regarding new private housing completions as well as existing homes from the U.S. Bureau of the Census. The source of these data is different from the statistics com
18、piled from the survey respondents and should be evaluated separately. Our thanks go to those companies participating in this Residential Natural Gas Market Survey information-gathering effort. Their cooperation and support are essential to making this publication a primary source of natural gas util
19、ity industry data and an important industry reference. 2 Executive Summary In the United States, 61 percent of households, or 67 million customers, have natural gas service. Eighty-two percent of these customers used natural gas for house heating. Natural gas remained the United States most popular
20、energy source for home heating, with a 49 percent residential market share. Put another way, natural gas heated more homes in this country than all other major energy sources combined electricity was 38 percent, heating oil six percent, and propane five percent. In 2013, the majority of newly built
21、single-family homes (61 percent) featured gas heat, up from a 59 percent gas-heat share in 2012. The gas space-heating share of new single-family housing completions exceeded the electric share in all but the southern region of the country. New gas single-family home completions have exceeded all ot
22、her energy sources for at least thirteen years (see Figure 1). In the new multi-family housing arena, gas market share for space heating dropped to 33 percent in 2013 from 39 percent in 2012. When both single- and multi-family units are considered, the gas heating share of new housing completions ro
23、se to 54 percent, compared to 53 percent the previous year. The overall electric share rose to 45 percent in 2013. Net additions to the number of residential natural gas customers totaled 88,293 in 2013. This represents a 0.1 percent increase in total customers compared to 2012. The 2013 survey resu
24、lts show that roughly 55 percent of all new natural gas customers came from homes converted from another energy source. In fact, survey respondents were asked to provide a breakdown of conversions by fuel type. Based on these data, fuel oil conversions to natural gas accounted for 19 percent of all
25、conversions. Approximately five percent of conversion customers had previously heated with electricity. The respondents were unable to identify the previous heating fuel for 76 percent of the homes. Natural gas water heaters have a 51 percent market share, while shares for gas cooking remained at 36
26、 percent and clothes drying fell to 16 percent. During 2012, at least $7.4 billion went to assist low-income households pay their energy bills or weatherize their homes. Most of the funding came from the federal Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), with $3.7 billion in funds. Utilitie
27、s, both electric and natural gas, accounted for 49 percent ($3.6 billion) of the total in the form of discounts, waivers, forgiveness of arrearages, and weatherization programs. 3 Figure 1 Gas Heat is Preferred in New Homes over Electricity and Oil Single-Family Home Completions (2000-2013) Source:

Gas hea
29、t continued to dominate the new single-family home market. According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, new single-family completions heated by gas totaled 347,000 in 2013, up 22 percent from 285,000 in 2012. Gas heating market share reached 61 percent in 2013, compared to 59 percent in 2012. The 201
30、3 electric heating market share of new home completions was 39 percent. Single-family home completions heated by gas exceeded electric completions for the 27th consecutive year. In the 2013 new multi-family housing arena, gas market share for space heating fell to 33 percent, compared to the 2012 le
31、vel of 40 percent. The total number of multi-family units completed in 2013 increased to 195,000 compared to 166,000 in 2012. Market share for electric heat stayed the same compared to 2012. Gas-heated multi-family units numbered 64,000 compared with 129,000 electric units in 2013. When both single
32、and multi-family units are considered, the market share of new housing heated by gas in 2013 was 54 percent. The overall 2013 electric house heating market share increased one percentage points to reach 45 percent. Tables 1 and 2 present the regional breakdown of units completed by type of fuel. Sin
33、gle-family home completions heated by gas outnumbered electric completions in all regions except the South. The gas market shares in the Northeast, Midwest, South and West regions were 85 percent, 80 percent, 40 percent and 87 percent, respectively. In the multi-family sector, gas completions exceed
34、ed electric in the Northeast and West regions. Table 3 shows new housing market share data from 2000 to 2013. The Census data show that in recent years, electric market share has increased at the expense of gas, from 65 percent gas and 32 percent electric in 2000 to 59 percent for gas and 39 percent
35、 for electric in 2013. 5 Table 1 2013 Housing Completions by Heating Fuel Share Units (Thousands) Single-Family U.S. Northeast Midwest South West Gas1 61% 347 41 77 117 112 Electricity 38% 214 5 16 178 15 Oil 0% 2 1 (Z) (Z) (Z) Other2 1% 6 1 2 1 2 Subtotal 100% 569 48 96 296 129 Multi-Family Gas1 33

47、t) of the 115 million occupied housing units in the United States (see Table 4). Gas holds the largest market share in the Midwest, where 67 percent of the homes in that region have gas-heating systems. Gas heating beats out the competition in the Northeast and West regions of the country. Natural g
48、as house-heating market share in the Northeast was 53 percent, while the natural gas share was 58 percent in the West. Gas has the lowest market share in the warmer climate of the South. About 30 percent of the houses in the South used natural gas space heating in 2013. 9 Table 4 2013 Household Space-Heating Market Share N A T U R A L G A S E L E C T R I C I T Y F U E L O I L P R O P A N E O T H E RN O R TH EA S T 53% 14% 25% 4% 4%NE W E NG L A ND 38% 13% 39% 5% 6%C o n n e c t i c u t
