Saskenergy and its Network Members to help homeowners with furnace maintenance

Saskenergy and its network of plumbing and heating contractors are teaming up on a project to promote the importance of maintaining your natural gas space heating equipment. The Tuneup Assistance Program (TAP) for low income homeowners provides a hands-on examination of a home’s heating equipment to make sure it is ready for the onset of cooler temperatures.

Applications are now being accepted from lowincome homeowners with a combined annual income of no more than $68,000. Renters/rental properties are not eligible. Only those selected will receive this one-time offer of a Saskenergy Network Home Heating Tune-up at no charge and as an added safety measure each homeowner will be provided with a multi-gas detector that detects both natural gas and carbon monoxide.

TAP serves as a reminder to all Saskatchewan homeowners about the importance of furnace maintenance and cleaning or replacing furnace filters every one or two months during the winter heating season. Dirty filters will reduce airflow and force the furnace to run longer, possibly leading to costly repairs, poor indoor air quality, or no service when it is most needed.

Regular maintenance can help ensure your system is operating safely and at peak efficiency, improving overall home comfort and reducing the risk of emergency repairs and keeping your family safe.

Participating communities are selected based on the location of Saskenergy Network Members who provide the Saskenergy Network Home Heating Tune-up service. Swift Current and Gravelbourg are two of the 26 Saskatchewan communities in this network. Applications under the Tune-up Assistance Program (TAP) are accepted if you are located in one of the communities listed or within a 20 kilometre radius.
