5 steps to connecting to the Enbridge Gaz Québec system
Choosing natural gas means choosing numerous benefits, such as convenience, savings and energy efficiency, while enjoying the kind of lifestyle you want!
To bring you these benefits, we have to connect your building to the distribution system, which sometimes requires extending the latter. Depending on the amount of work involved, you may have to wait up to 90 days from the day you sign your distribution service contract (step 2) until your natural gas meter is turned on.

Building your house
Plan to connect your house to the natural gas system before you start building it. Submit your connection request by contacting our sales department at 819 771-8321, option 4.
Once your house has been connected to Enbridge Gaz Québec’s natural gas system, you can hire a qualified contractor specializing in natural gas to install the indoor lines and your natural gas appliances in your new house.
A Enbridge Gaz Québec technician will have to confirm the proper installation of any natural gas appliance installed in your house.
