Residential gas demand has historically been driven by appliance usage — heating systems, water heaters, and cooking equipment.
These uses create intermittent consumption patterns and long periods of low throughput.
At the same time, electrification policies and energy efficiency standards are steadily reducing therm consumption per household.
Gas utilities maintain extensive infrastructure networks designed to deliver reliable energy to millions of homes.
As consumption per household declines, infrastructure utilization decreases and revenue per meter gradually erodes.
Utilities need new forms of demand that align with existing infrastructure investments.
Residential gas infrastructure can support either intermittent appliance load or continuous asset-based demand.
Many utilities have underutilized gas capacity – Flux Home activates it.
