Energy Affordability Program
The Energy Affordability Program offers energy-saving upgrades tailored to the specific needs of your home, all at no cost. And a more energy-efficient home means more comfort and more money in your wallet. Saving energy is simple with the Energy Affordability Program.
There are two types of support available through the Energy Affordability Program: Comprehensive Support and Energy Saving Kits.
All expert advice and energy-saving home upgrades under this program are completely free of charge.
The Energy Affordability Program is delivered by trusted Save on Energy delivery agents.
Save on Energy is expanding eligibility for cold climate air source heat pumps within the Energy Affordability Program (EAP), thanks to funding support from Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) through its Oil to Heat Pump Affordability (OHPA) program.
As a result, eligible homeowners with oil-fueled heating systems may now qualify to receive a high-efficiency cold climate heat pump system at no cost. These systems can help participants reduce energy costs, improve home comfort, increase property value, and lower their carbon footprint.
The EAP is a fully funded home energy retrofit program designed for income-eligible Ontarians.
Peak Perks
Receive a $75 virtual prepaid Mastercard® when you enroll your home or small business in Peak Perks™. Also receive a $20 virtual prepaid Mastercard® each additional year you stay enrolled in the program.*
Residents and small businesses can save 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 between June and September.
- During an event, your thermostat will be automatically adjusted no more than two degrees Celsius to reduce your home’s or business’s energy consumption.
- Prior to an event, your thermostat may be adjusted down slightly to pre-cool your home or business so that you remain comfortable while an event is taking place.
- 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.
