Working with affordable housing providers? Team up with our experts.
Sponsored by Enbridge Gas
Enbridge Gas Energy Solutions Advisors work with affordable multi-family housing providers to help improve their housing stock. There are many advantages to bringing Enbridge Gas in at the planning stage as Energy Solutions Advisors can:
- reinforce estimated energy savings;
- provide free consulting on projects; and
- offer incentives to identify and implement energy efficiency opportunities and upgrades.
Here’s how Enbridge Gas adds value.
Improving Efficiency on a Budget
Affordable housing operates within limited annual budgets, so every decision comes down to cost efficiency.
The Affordable Multi-Family Housing program provides generous incentives that go straight to the provider’s bottom line. Our advisors can help identify the right technology and apply an incentive to help build a better business case for approvals.
End-to-End Project Support
Advisors work to understand housing providers goals, whether this includes replacing end-of-life equipment in the years ahead or needing an immediate upgrade.
Do they have a long-term plan? How tight are their budgets? Our advisors provide a comprehensive solution. This extra support can go a long way in getting approvals from their boards.
A Name Housing Providers Trust
Housing providers need to trust that you are making the right recommendation for their needs.
Enbridge Gas has been delivering incentive programs for 25 years and customers often tell us how much they appreciate our team’s honesty. As a neutral party, we can verify and confirm the estimated savings and predicted payback periods and put together an incentive to strengthen their business case.
Let Us Handle the Paperwork
We appreciate how busy both contractors and housing providers can be. Bring us in early and we’ll take care of everything. We’ve simplified the process, from design assistance to verifying natural gas savings; we even take care of the paperwork.
Financial Incentives up to $200,000 per Project
Affordable housing providers are passionate about what they do and the people they serve, but budgets can make it difficult to move ahead with certain building improvements. Incentives not only lower the upfront cost of the equipment, but can reduce energy and operating costs year over year. High-efficiency equipment is safer and more reliable, which is a huge benefit for residents and property managers during cold winters.
Free Expert Help, Financial Incentives and Free Upgrades
The Affordable Multi-Family Housing program provides incentives for high-efficiency equipment upgrades to reduce energy costs, increase resident comfort, and keep buildings running optimally.
Who’s eligible?

- shelters and co-ops; and
