Control comfort and costs.

Keep control over operating costs by opting for natural gas amenities. In addition to greater comfort for your tenants, it will also help lower energy expenses.

Lower your energy bills, not your tenants' comfort level

Natural gas is cleaner than fuel oil, thus ensuring comfort for your tenants while helping you keep monthly costs in check.

Chart comparing annual energy costs1 equivalent to 41,500 m3 (70% heating, 30% processes).

Every year, we have Lucien Coté & Fils do the inspection and maintenance on our furnaces. They advised us not to wait to modernize our heating system and suggested have energy savings of 20%.

Michel L’Espérance has a good grasp of this concept, which is why he turned to natural gas when it came time to upgrade the cooperative’s heating system.
