Multi-Unit Residential In-Suite Fixed Incentive Program

Get up to $50,000 in incentives for heat and energy recovery

Keep heat in while moving stale air out with heat-recovery ventilators (HRV) and energy-recovery ventilators (ERV). ERVs and HRVs transfer heat and moisture between the building’s exhaust air and the outside supply air. During the heating season, this raises the temperature of the outside air supply through heat transfer within the heat exchanger. Through this process, you’ll save energy by decreasing the load on the building’s heating system.

To help you take advantage of this energy-saving technology, Enbridge Gas offers financial incentives. In-suite incentives for affordable housing qualify under the Affordable Housing Multi-Residential program.
