In Canada, winter weather may be unpredictable—but the season itself is a certainty. As temperatures begin to drop, snow will inevitably follow, and our heating systems will be pushed to their limits. For millions of homes, businesses, and communities, staying warm, safe, and productive through the coldest months depends on one thing: natural gas.
But is our energy infrastructure ready to deliver reliability, affordability, and sustainability—this winter and in the years ahead?
Foundational Principles: Reliability & Affordability
Whether you’re at home or in the office, turning on the heat doesn’t usually spark thoughts of the hundreds of kilometers of pipelines, valves, and controls working quietly behind the scenes. Yet these systems form the backbone of Canada’s energy infrastructure.
For utilities and operators, the challenge is ongoing: deliver gas safely, keep costs down, and prepare for the inevitable cold. All while planning for a long-term transition to cleaner energy sources.
Reliability and affordability aren’t opposing forces—they must go hand in hand. Infrastructure built with the right components reduces failures, lowers maintenance costs, and ensures lasting affordability.
Built to Last, Built for Canada’s Toughest Conditions
At Armour Valve Ltd., we have spent decades solving the industry’s toughest challenges. From high-pressure transmission lines in the North to complex urban distribution networks in the South, we understand what it takes to build heating infrastructure that performs under pressure.
Take our BOEHMER Ball Valves: their fully welded, forged-body design means fewer leak paths and significantly lower failure rates. They are built to last and hydrogen-ready certified, making them a smart investment for today’s heating supply and tomorrow’s cleaner energy ecosystem.
We are also proud partners of VRG Controls, whose advanced technologies tackle one of the industry’s biggest issues: fugitive emissions. Their innovative solutions reduce gas released into the atmosphere while maintaining efficiency and reliability.
Why Leading Utilities Choose Armour Valve
In this business, time is money and trust is everything. While many suppliers quote lead times of 30 weeks or more, Armour Valve maintains significant inventory to enable fast turnarounds. That agility, combined with our values and family-operated approach, makes us a partner you can count on.
Our inventory includes hydrogen-ready certified valves—one of the few providers offering them today. This positions us as a trusted leader for companies preparing for the energy transition.
But what truly sets us apart is our people. Our in-house technical experts work side-by-side with your team to develop custom solutions, troubleshoot challenges, and ensure your project succeeds. We don’t just ship products—we stand with you for the long haul.
Developing Canada’s Energy Future
Looking ahead, Canada’s energy systems must deliver on three key fronts:
- Reliability
- Affordability
- Sustainability
By supplying valves and controls that meet the highest standards of quality and performance, Armour Valve is proud to play a critical role in this mission.
Let’s work together to build energy systems that are ready for today—and prepared for tomorrow.
