B.C.’s natural gas supply is limited

Due to the rupture of the Enbridge-owned natural gas transmission pipeline north of Prince George on October 9, 2018, B.C.’s natural gas supply is limited this winter. We’re asking all our customers to reduce their natural gas use over the coming months. Here’s how you can reduce your use of natural gas: Turn down the heat : we recognize that in some parts of B.C. it may be impractical to turn off thermostats completely due to cold weather. Where possible, set your thermostat no higher than 20 °C when heat is needed, and to 17 °C in unoccupied areas or during off-hours. Ensure equipment is working efficiently: maintain hot water and HVAC units and clean or replace air filters and dampers regularly. Inspect and insulate: ensure heating ducts and pipes in unheated areas are insulated and sealed.
