Ontario Energy Tips

There are many free and inexpensive ways to conserve energy in your home. Some improvements for your home will cost money, but these are often good investments that will reduce your electricity bills in the future. Visit saveONenergy.ca to find out how you can save energy at home.

Remember these main conservation ideas:

1. Shift electricity use to off-peak periods.
   With smart meters and time-of-use pricing, you can save money by switching some of your energy use to mid- and off-peak hours when electricity prices are lower.
2. Unplug electronic items not in use.
   Many electronic items — computers, TVs, cell phone chargers — continue to consume small amounts of electricity unless they are unplugged. Try plugging these items into a power bar with a switch, so you can easily turn them off when they are not in use.
3. Choose energy-efficient products.
   Consider energy savings in your buying decision. ENERGY STAR® appliances and compact fluorescent light bulbs consume less electricity, so your costs will be reduced.
