Door-to-door scam

People knock on doors and insist on checking furnaces, water heaters, and air conditioners. They may pretend to be one of our employees or they may say that their business is working with or for us.

When someone comes to your door representing Manitoba Hydro, ask for their name and to see their ID card. Our employees:

  • will have an official identification card with their name and photo;
  • will approach you in a professional and courteous manner;
  • will not mind if you take the time to confirm their identities for your safety;
  • will not pressure you to allow them into your home, even for home appliance inspections;
  • will never try to sell you any product or service.

Approved contractors

They inspect all residential and commercial natural gas lines and services, including gas meters and below-grade piping. The inspections allow us to provide safe, reliable service to our customers and meet regulatory requirements.

Manitoba Hydro Utility Services (MHUS), a subsidiary of Manitoba Hydro, provides natural gas safety inspections on meter sets and risers across the province. They carry Manitoba Hydro photo identification.
