At Saint John Energy, we are doing our part to contain the virus and help maintain a safe environment for everyone. Our office remains closed at this time, but all of our services are fully operational now.  For the safety and wellbeing of our community and team during the pandemic, we have made the following changes to our operations:

• During service calls, we will ask additional screening questions to assess the potential risk of entering a customer’s home. Our personnel will wear protective equipment such as masks and gloves to complete their work.
• Facilitating work-from-home scenarios for employees who are not required to report to worksites

Increasing cleaning and disinfecting regimens throughout our facilities, equipment, and vehicles. Implementing social distancing practices throughout all internal and external interactions
