Heating By Gas Cheap In Alberta
Calgary lies at the heart of Canada’s largest gas pipeline network sending millions of cubic feet daily from Turner Valley and Jumping Pound to homes and industry across southern Alberta. The system delivers low bills for residents with average five room homes paying about 3 dollars in summer and 11 to 12 dollars in winter, while monthly and annual costs remain far lower than heating by coal or oil in distant cities. Operators at the Manchester high pressure station supervise constant pressure to the Calgary area, with multiple pipelines feeding two main 16 inch lines toward the city.
