Find out which grants your business could obtain
The grant amounts will vary, depending on the size of your business, on your sector and on the equipment you plan to install. Below are some examples of businesses that have switched to natural gas and of the grant amounts they received.
Small industry - replacing a fuel oil appliance
A small business currently uses a fuel oil boiler for heating. To reduce costs and increase performance, a decision was made to purchase a new natural gas boiler.
The business will receive a total grant of $5,800, divided as follows:
- $ 2,800 for the natural gas boiler1
- $ 1,250 to switch from heating-oil to natural gas.2
- an additional $1,750 if a high-efficiency model is chosen3
In addition to these many grants, the business could save close to $4,200 per year on its heating bill, compared with what it used to pay for oil.4

1. The rebates are applicable to businesses located on the Énergir gas network and equipped with central heating appliances, provided that they do not have a heat pump or dual-energy heating system. The amount of financial assistance is based on expected natural gas consumption, the type of appliance to be installed and the total amount of the investment. The 15% total corresponds to a potential customer who installs a natural gas warm-air furnace with a capacity of 10,000 m3. The rebates are subject to credit approval and eligibility for the natural gas Consumption Rebate Program and the Energy Efficiency Program. A five-year natural gas supply contract is required. Other conditions may apply. The financial assistance will only be paid once the natural gas appliance(s) is(are) installed.

* Le calcul d’économies d’énergie est effectué en fonction notamment i) d’une évaluation de l’efficacité énergétique de différents types d’équipements selon leur âge et ii) selon des prix annuels moyens disponibles des différentes sources d’énergie pour la région de Montréal (Québec). Plusieurs facteurs, notamment quant aux bâtiments et aux équipements, peuvent influencer les résultats réels. Les résultats sont des estimations seulement et peuvent donc différer de la réalité.
