Take advantage of smart, energy-efficient solutions

Recent technological advances have given manufacturers and engineers the edge to design modern solutions that integrate smoothly into all kinds of projects, from single-family homes to condo buildings.

Centralized home hot water and plastic pipes for condo buildings

More efficient, less expense

A centralized hot water heater can be highly energy efficient. That’s why professionals like this solution, which is also supported by an Énergir purchase and installation grant. 

It will save your customers about 20% on their annual energy bill compared to electricity and installing a single heater reduces the impact on the environment. Plus, insurance constraints are reduced because the risk of water damage is eliminated and there is no need to change individual water heaters as required every ten years. And plastic piping is easier and less expensive to install.

Combo system with minimalist duct heating design

Space-saving comfort

A discrete, cutting-edge solution, with everything designed for your customers’ comfort. Since all units share the condensing boiler and condensing water heater, they don’t take up living space. What’s more, the heat produced by the high-performance boiler is diffused to each unit via the minimalist duct concept. This design, which uses a compact fan-coil in the ceiling space, meets comfort standards everywhere in the dwelling. And since a fan-coil can also double as an air conditioner, comfort is guaranteed year round.

A source of energy for the future

Integrate natural gas into your LEED projects

Natural gas is the ideal solution when it comes to making a choice between energy efficiency and social impact.

Natural gas is the cleanest hydrocarbon. It emits less CO2, pollutants and fine particles—all contributors to smog, acid rain and global warming. What’s more, natural gas can be used with other sources of energy or mixed with biomethane from organic waste.

With high-efficiency appliances and equipment, natural gas can be easily integrated into projects on track for LEED certification, contributing to the evolution of an environmentally respectful society. No wonder natural gas is a source of energy for the future!

Reduce your electrical inputs

Reduce your construction costs

The costs of electrical inputs can often be exorbitant in residential projects. When you choose natural gas, you’re choosing to reduce yours costs while offering owners total comfort and superior performance.

Supply

Count on long-term reliability

Natural gas has the advantage of flowing continuously, ensuring a steady supply. In North America, the soil contains enough gas for over 100 years, so you can rely on it for many years to come.
