Combine comfort with savings
By choosing a natural gas ventilation system, you are combining comfort and savings. In addition to supplying a controlled amount of clean air to your building’s common areas, natural gas ventilation equipment helps eliminate air currents, dust and dirt. The best part? It is less expensive to use than electricity, fuel oil or propane.

Case study
Several 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.

Cosmos Restaurant
Louis McNeil opened the first Cosmos restaurant over 20 years ago. This “modern tavern” in Sainte-Foy rapidly became one of the Québec City region’s iconic chains. When McNeil converted his four restaurants to natural gas, Gaz Métro guided him through the process.
