Building a Home with Natural Gas

Congratulations on your new home!

Step 1:

As you are shopping around to find a builder and new home, don’t forget to ask about having natural gas installed, and find out what natural gas appliances they will be pre-piping for. If you can, try to have natural gas pre-piped for all available appliances while they are building the house.

Step 2:

Before you take possession, contact Union Gas to set up your new account. Once you’re a Union Gas customer, set up your profile on MyAccount, and be able to view your latest bill, interact with your gas consumption information, and have complete control over your account.

Looking to help budget or automate your gas payments? Why not enrol in our payment options:

• Equal Billing Plan (EBP) will help you budget for your gas consumption over the year, by converting your bills into equal monthly payments. You no longer have to budget for those higher energy bills in those cold winter months.

• Automatic Payment Plan (APP) will take it one step further, and fully automate your bill payments for you. Simply enter in your information from your financial institution, and never have to worry about missing a bill payment again

Natural gas is the preferred fuel in a variety of products including: furnaces, water heaters, fireplaces, ranges, dryers and grills and pool and patio heaters. When compared to other fuels such as electricity, oil or propane, natural gas can save you around 50 per cent in operating costs. Finally, many natural gas appliances do not require electricity to run so in the event of a blackout your home can continue to function. Union Gas offers a variety of energy saving solutions to help you conserve energy.
