About Énergir

Énergir is Quebec's main natural gas distributor, based in Montreal. It was long known as Gaz Métro before taking its current name, and its roots go back to 1957. Beyond delivering gas for heating, cooking and industry, it is also investing in renewable natural gas made from organic waste.

Most people meet Énergir through a home heating bill or a gas stove, rather than as a product to choose for fun. It is worth knowing if you are buying a home, renovating or comparing heating options for Quebec's cold winters. Its website explains the services available at your address. The company is a long-standing Montreal institution.
