Whether you’re replacing end-of-life equipment or planning to buy new, the Fixed Incentive Program makes it easy to offset the cost of upgrading to energy-efficient natural gas technology. Working with you at every step, our Energy Solutions Advisor will help you identify opportunities, quantify potential savings and provide incentives to offset the cost of upgrading to high efficiency equipment.
Reduce energy and operating costs.
Boost energy performance.
Improve comfort in your building or facility.
Reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Contact your Energy Solutions Advisor (ESA) early in the project planning stage to have your project pre-qualified and maximize the incentives available to you. We’ll estimate natural gas savings based on the project details and provide an incentive quote. If you haven’t already worked with an ESA, you’ll be provided with one for support every step of the way, at no additional cost.
Contact your ESA and provide a copy of the purchase order. Submit completed technical input sheets with an estimated date of installation and commissioning.
After the energy efficiency upgrade is commissioned and operational, your ESA will confirm final project details through a site inspection and/or by requesting a copy of the project invoice and purchase order.
Submit all required paperwork and receive your incentive cheque in 4 – 6 weeks. An independent evaluator may reach out to verify project details and your experience with the program.

The space adjacent to the door must be heated during the heating season by natural gas fuelled equipment.
Equipment installed must be tested by a third-party performance standard (ANSI/AMCA 220-05 or similar) and installed as per manufacturer specifications.
Replacement of existing air curtains is not eligible. New construction applications where the air curtains have been installed on pedestrian doors in lieu of a vestibule are not eligible.
Heated air curtains are not eligible.
Shipping/Receiving doors include doors classified as dock-in (truck trailers dock at the doorway and doorway is typically 4 ft. off the ground) or drive-in (door opens and closes to allow traffic to pass through doorway and doorway is typically located at ground level).
Air curtains are not eligible on dock doors where other mechanisms that combat infiltration at the shipping/receiving door are present, such as dock door seals.
Shipping/Receiving doors with vestibules are not eligible.
Other door sizes not listed may be eligible.
For buildings with greater ventilation requirements, condensing MUAs can improve air quality, provide greater comfort and create a healthier environment. Learn how condensing MUAs work.
| Condensing MUA incentives | |

Only replacement of existing deteriorated seals or the addition of new seals to an existing building with shipping/receiving dock doors that do not have any type of seal in place are eligible.
For all Industrial customers, replacement of existing deteriorated seal projects are only eligible if the incentive application is approved by an Enbridge Gas Representative.
New construction is not eligible for this offer.
If other mechanisms that combat infiltration at the shipping/receiving door are present, such as air curtains, it is not eligible.
The space adjacent to the door must be heated during the heating season by natural gas fueled equipment. Two types of seals (compression and shelter) are eligible based on door size. Compression seals (this is a foam pad that is wide and fixed to the door, with a min. of 40 oz. vinyl cover) on 8' x 8', 8' x 9' and 8' x 10' doors.
Shelter type seals (this is a curtain-like seal with a minimum of 40 oz. vinyl cover with shelter frame that is made of steel with foam pad or foam core that compresses against the sides and top of the trailer box on 9.5' x 10.5' or 10' x 10' doors. Other door sizes not listed may be eligible but must be reviewed and approved prior to application.
Existing deteriorated seals are only eligible if the incentive application is approved by an Enbridge Gas representative and if the existing seal has a minimum average 2-inch gap based on a 6-point measurement outlined below. To qualify existing Dock Door Seals as "deteriorated" and consider them as eligible for the Enbridge Gas incentive, a measurement form (with six points of measurement) must be completed for each door, and each seal must have a minimum average gap of 2 inches. This measurement must be taken and provided with the application form to be eligible.
If a measurement form is not provided with the application, then it is not eligible.
The existing deteriorated seal must have a minimum average gap of 2 inches along the seal’s side-profile projection, from where it begins at the wall to where the side-profile projection ends, determined by a 6-point measurement.
Average = [gap1+ gap2+ gap3+ gap4+ gap5+ gap6] / 6
Average = average deteriorated seal gap (inches)
If average ≥ 2 in. = deteriorated seal, eligible
If average < 2 in. = not deteriorated seal, not eligible
Please note that you are measuring “absence” of the seal (physical hole or gap) that was in place before but that is now torn.

Eligible equipment is ERV/HRV with a minimum sensible effectiveness of 55 percent at 32 F for spaces with no ERV/HRV or for spaces were ERV/HRV is not required by code (OBC, SB 10, SB 12) and ERV/HRV with a minimum sensible effectiveness of 65 percent at 32 F for spaces were ERV/HRV is required by code.
Incentive paid is based on the operating CFM of the ERV/HRV and to qualify for an incentive, the sensible effectiveness used to validate the above criteria must be at the operating CFM level.
This offer is not eligible in areas where: the operating CFM sensible effectiveness level is below the minimum requirements above; systems where DCV or scheduled setbacks are used during operated hours; spaces where 100% of the exhaust air must be evacuated from the building in order to avoid cross contamination (100% fresh air is required such as described in OBC section 1.1.1.4. spaces where no recirculation is allowed by codes or standards, for instance, any limitations as per CSA Z317.2_10 Special Requirements for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Systems in Health Care Facilities); and areas where contaminants (gases and vapors) may be present and the ERV/HRV may bring them back into the breathing zone.
In-suite installations may be eligible at a different incentive level.
