RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS

Peaksaver During hot summer weekdays, when air conditioners are running at their maximum, the demand for electricity is at its highest. These times are known as ‘peak demand days'. If you have a central air conditioner (CAC), you can help the province to manage this peak demand by enrolling in the peaksaver® program. NOTE: The current Peaksaver program is ending August 31st 2011. Customers who wish to sign up for this program, must enrol by August 12th 2011.

The Great Refrigerator Round-up That old, inefficient second fridge of yours is wasting between $120 - $150 per year in electricity. If you have a fridge that is 15 years or older and is between 10-27 cubic feet, book an appointment today and we will come pick it up for FREE – we'll even haul it out of your basement for you and take care of it in an environmentally-responsible manner. When we are finished recycling and reclaiming the material, very little will be sent to the landfill!
