Take control of your home comfort and energy savings with Save on Energy’s Peak Perks program. You’ll be rewarded for reducing your energy use when demand for electricity in Ontario is high this summer.
How Peak Perks works
Participants in Peak Perks save with their smart thermostats by participating in brief, time-limited thermostat adjustments during periods of peak electricity demand that can occur on the hottest summer days.
- Peak Perks events will occur only on weekdays for up to three hours during periods of peak demand for electricity. Events will not take place on weekends or holidays.
- Events can occur up to 10 times between June and September.
- During an event, your thermostat will be automatically adjusted between two to four degrees Celsius to reduce your home’s energy consumption.
- You are always in control – you will be notified when an event occurs and can opt out at any time during an event from your thermostat provider’s mobile app, or by simply adjusting your smart thermostat back to your desired comfort level.
- Once an event ends, your thermostat will return to its original temperature setting.
Did you know?
From increasing your home comfort level to making life more convenient, smart thermostats help you control your home’s temperature so you can reduce your energy consumption and save on cooling and heating costs all year round.Read more
