This year, let’s all continue to take action to reduce our impact on the environment. If you don’t know where to begin, start with small changes. If everyone carried out simple tasks such as turning the car engine off while waiting, putting waste in the right bin, and walking or cycling for short trips, collectively these actions do make a difference.
Check out the following energy saving programs that are currently available.
Energy saving programs delivered by Union Gas
- Home Energy Conservation Incentive Program –up to $5,000 if you currently heat your home with oil, natural gas, propane boiler/furnace or wood stove. You must have an energy assessment carried out before and after your renovation and complete at least two eligible renovations.
- Home Weatherization Program – free energy-saving upgrades for income-eligible households who live in a home built before 1975 that is in need of more insulation and is heated with natural gas.
