Natural gas equipment for agricultural buildings

Harvest big savings

Provide your buildings with equipment that can increase your energy performance and reduce your energy expenses. With natural gas, maximize your farm's energy performance and make productivity gains.

By choosing natural gas, we save 90% on maintenance costs for heating equipment and 15% to 20% on energy costs. Every year.

Director of Operations at Rose Drummond

Case study

Several agricultural businesses have decided to choose natural gas as an energy source to reduce their energy costs and reinvest the money saved to improve their competitiveness.


Rose Drummond

Heating greenhouses is no mean feat and costs can quickly skyrocket. An environmentally friendly choice is all well and good, but economic concerns take precedence. In 2012 the price of natural gas became more attractive and commercial programs encouraged the purchase of new equipment. It was time to try something new.

Grants available for your business

Take advantage of Energir grants to add or replace natural gas equipment and reduce your
energy costs. In addition to offering a better performance, natural gas is cheaper than
electricity and fuel-oil.
