If you use natural gas to heat your home, you may be eligible for financial assistance to convert a central natural gas system to a dual-energy heating system (electricity and natural gas).
Advantages of dual energy
Heating with dual energy means using electricity and natural gas alternately to heat your home.
A dual-energy heating system uses electricity as the main energy source about 70% of the time. During cold weather (−12°C and below), the natural gas heating system takes over.
By choosing dual energy, you help reduce your greenhouse gas emissions and make better use of energy during cold snaps.
With a dual-energy heating system, you may also benefit from a more advantageous electricity rate from Hydro-Québec (Rate DT).
Eligible clients
The following types of homes are eligible:
- Single-family home (detached, semi-detached or row house, or mobile home)
- Duplex
- Triplex
- Multiple-unit residential building
The home must be heated with natural gas before the work begins.
How to apply
Contact your current natural gas distributor for more information about this financial assistance program.
