be offering them."

bers that similar programs under

more money off homes with
natural gas than from all-
electric homes, and gas serv-

cost of $400 to $500 (per
house) to put in gas," he said.
"So far that don't look like no
incentive to me."
"I'm (looking at) right at
$400 to $500 to upgrade to
