Natural gas is a highly dependable energy source and a great value for your energy dollar at about half the cost of oil or propane, and about 50 percent cheaper than electric resistance* (for example, baseboard heating). When Enbridge Gas is your gas supplier, you pay what we pay for natural gas, without mark-up. As a distribution company, we earn our income from the distribution and storage of natural gas.
*based on the annual heating comparison for the typical residential customer.
