Efficient Energy

Natural gas is not only a smart, clean and warm energy, but it is efficient as well.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, energy efficiency “refers to products or systems that use less energy to do the same or better job than conventional products or systems. It saves energy, saves money on utility bills, and reduces the demand for energy thus protecting the environment”

Enbridge Gas New Brunswick supports and encourages the use of high efficiency equipment and the participation in energy conservation programs that are available. We encourage all homes and businesses to take part in an energy audit to discover what can be done to conserve more energy. Programs exist through Efficiency New Brunswick and the federal government to offset the associated costs with environmentally friendly upgrades.
