To qualify for TAP, you must be a Saskatchewan homeowner with a combined annual household income (before taxes) of less than $68,000.
SaskEnergy’s Tune-up Assistance Program (TAP) is allowing homeowners to apply for a free home heating tune-up, as of now, offered through participating SaskEnergy Network Members. To qualify for TAP, you must be a Saskatchewan homeowner with a combined annual household income (before taxes) of less than $68,000.
“Since this program was launched five years ago, it has helped more than 2,300 homeowners across the province keep their furnaces in safe working order,” said Kevin Adair, who leads SaskEnergy’s Customer Service Operations. “Regular furnace tune-ups can prevent costly repairs down the road and help your family to be safe and warm on those days when you need your furnace the most.”
TAP provides up to $400 worth of products and services to each homeowner that qualifies at no cost. This includes a SaskEnergy Network home heating tune-up, up to $200 in repairs if needed, two free furnace filters, and a free carbon monoxide alarm.
This is one way that SaskEnergy says they give back to their customers and communities, by offering a program that helps Saskatchewan homeowners meet their home-energy needs in a safe and efficient way.
“Building awareness about the importance of carbon monoxide safety is another reason we offer this program,” Adair said. “Carbon monoxide poisoning can be fatal. That is why, starting July 1 of this year, every residence in Saskatchewan will be legally required to have a carbon monoxide alarm.”
SaskEnergy’s Tune-up Assistance Program is available as of June 13th until November 15th, 2022. Unfortunately, renters and homeowners that participated in the program last year are not eligible for this year’s program. Applications are accepted on a first-come-first-served basis, so customers are encouraged to apply early.
To be eligible, homeowners must be located within a 25-kilometer radius of a community served by a SaskEnergy Network Member that provides the tune-up service. These communities include Balgonie, Emerald Park, Esterhazy, Estevan, Eston, Foam Lake, Govan, Gravelbourg, Grenfell, Hague, Hepburn, Hudson Bay, Kindersley, Leader, Lumsden, Maple Creek, Melfort, Melville, Montmartre, Moose Jaw, Nipawin, North Battleford, Paradise Hill, Ponteix, Preeceville, Prince Albert, Regina, Rosetown, Saskatoon, Springside, Swift Current, Tisdale, Unity, Wadena, Wakaw, Watrous, Weyburn, Willowbrook, and Yorkton.
