Reduce your energy costs

Energy is a big part of your operating costs, and it is important to keep it under control. Reducing your energy bill means more money for your business. The price of natural gas is 30% cheaper than electricity and 50% cheaper than oil. These savings could mean a chance to reinvest in your business to increase your productivity.

With Énergir, we’ve been very satisfied with the service and with their fast response to our requests and our particular needs. Natural gas helps us significantly cut costs compared with oil or electricity.

* The calculation of energy savings is generally based on: (i) an evaluation of the energy efficiency of the various types of appliances, according to their age; and (ii) based on the average annual prices available for the different sources of energy for the Montréal (Québec) area. Several factors, particularly related to the building and appliances, may influence actual results. The results of this calculation are estimates only and may therefore differ from reality.
