Save more with natural gas

If your property already uses natural gas, you may be able to save more by switching additional appliances or equipment. Many customers choose to expand how they use natural gas over time based on their needs and usage.

Once natural gas is connected, some homes and businesses choose to switch additional appliances or systems. Common upgrades include water heaters, dryers, and cooking equipment.

Switching more appliances doesn’t require doing everything at once. You can make changes gradually, based on replacement cycles or operational needs.

Switching appliances from propane to natural gas can reduce ongoing fuel costs, depending on usage and appliance type. The examples below show typical estimated yearly savings for customers who switch from propane.

Estimates may include propane fuel costs, carbon charges, and tank fees. Actual savings vary based on usage, equipment, and local pricing.

The more appliances or systems you switch, the greater the potential impact on ongoing energy costs.

If you’re already connected to natural gas, you may choose to switch:

• Water heaters
  Natural gas water heaters can recover heat quickly and support higher demand.
• Dryers
  Gas dryers are commonly used in both residential and commercial settings.
• Stoves and ovens
  Natural gas cooking equipment offers precise temperature control and is widely used in homes and commercial kitchens.
• Fireplaces
  Natural gas fireplaces provide convenient heat without fuel storage or refilling.

Each upgrade can be planned individually, based on your needs and existing equipment.

Natural gas may offer cost advantages for propane users when propane prices exceed certain levels. The figures below show example propane price thresholds often used for comparison.

Many propane customers in Ontario pay rates above these levels, though actual pricing varies by supplier and contract.

• Lower ongoing fuel costs
• No propane tank rental or refill scheduling
• Reduced exposure to fuel delivery price changes
• Reliable supply delivered year‑round
• Cleaner‑burning fuel compared to some alternatives
