Spring has arrived and with it some exciting changes to the energy rebates and incentives available from our gas utilities and partners. It has never been easier for to qualify for rebates!

Effective May 1, 2019 the Home Energy Conservation (HEC) from Enbridge Gas and the Home Reno Rebate (HRR) from Union Gas merge into a new offering called Home Efficiency Rebate (HER).

With the goal of achieving deeper energy savings for customers, there are new qualifying rules for insulation and water heaters, and the former rule of ensuring a 10% minimum natural gas savings per project is no longer a requirement. Contact us today to get started!
