Preparing for a Flood If you suspect any natural gas appliances might become submerged from flood water or sewer back-up, consider following these steps: Hire a licensed gas contractor to ‘shut off’ the gas at the supply valve to natural gas appliances that may be affected. Relocate appliances to a dry location by raising them above potential water levels, to upper floors or other suitable storage areas. Have your contractor cap and properly seal the gas pipe ends (appliance gas supply line) to all affected appliances to prevent water from entering the piping system. Shut off the electrical...

What you need to know Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odourless, colourless, tasteless and invisible gas that occurs through combustion, or the process of burning. Excessive amounts of CO will form when there isn’t proper ventilation or an adequate air supply. Most often, exposure to carbon monoxide occurs indoors. Any appliance that burns fuel can cause CO build-up, including fireplaces, gas stoves, water heaters, furnaces, grills, generators or car engines. CO poisoning can happen to anyone but some people are more susceptible than others. Elderly, infants and those with heart or respiratory...

Carbon charges and your SaskEnergy bill As part of the federal government’s carbon pricing system, a Federal Carbon Tax applies to all fossil fuels, including natural gas, and is calculated based on the amount you use.

Amount you are charged The carbon charge on natural gas is a flat rate set by the Government of Canada and is part of a multi-year plan. Each year, the charge will adjust as follows: April 2021 → $40 per tonne ($0.0783 per cubic metre)...

Grain Drying When weather doesn't cooperate, a natural gas grain dryer can extend your harvest season. Grain quality counts and a dryer can ensure your grain ends up in the bin instead of left in the field. Benefits of using natural gas versus other energy options include: Lower fuel costs Convenience of not dealing with tanks or the need to refuel Reduced drying time Less greenhouse gas emissions Fuel Consumption In Saskatchewan, the typical grain drying temperature is 10 degrees Celsius. Using heat to dry the grain during the fall season prior to below zero temperatures will reduce drying...
