real estate and housing advertisements, “gas” typically refers to natural gas. When listed as a feature or a utility in a rental or home sale, it indicates that the property is connected to a municipal gas line used to power appliances like the: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

• Furnace (for central heating)
• Water Heater (for hot water)
• Stove or Oven (for cooking)
• Dryer (for drying clothes) [1]

If a listing states that “gas is included,” it means the landlord pays for this utility within your rent. [1, 2]

Note: Depending on your local dialect, you might be thinking of a “gas spring” (or gas strut), which is a common piece of hardware used in cabinet doors or upward-opening housing to hold them open smoothly.[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
