From our family to yours!

When you use less electricity, youll save money on your bill. You can start today. Many conservation ideas are free, and just mean changing some habits. Others involve home improvements, but will pay off over the long term. Start by following three general rules:... 1. Go off-peak. Use energy at times when electricity prices are lower. 2. Evict your phantoms. Many devices TVs, computers, cell phone chargers draw phantom power, meaning they use electricity unless theyre unplugged. If you plug these into a power bar with a switch, you can turn them off fully when not in use. 3. Invest in efficiency. Switch to LED or compact fluorescent light bulbs, and look for ENERGY STAR appliances for your home.

When you use less energy, you save money on your energy bill. Everyone in Ontario benefits from energy conservation. Learn about saving energy in Ontario how it affects you and the people around you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=5&v=xpuAAwdZpH0

If you are a customer of an electricity utility and in a low-income home, you may qualify for a reduction on your electricity bill through the Ontario Electricity Support Program (OESP). More details here: http://www.energy.gov.on.ca//ontario-electricity-support-/
