Keep your home energy efficient this winter

Ontario's cold snaps have even the heartiest people feeling extra chilly this winter. But if your home isn't properly equipped for these extreme temperatures blasting the heat won't do you, your energy bill or the environment any good.

In fact, the energy used to heat, cool and light our homes is a significant source of carbon emissions. Almost one quarter of carbon emissions in Ontario come from buildings, and over half of those emissions are from people's homes. An energy efficient home is more comfortable, reduces these carbon emissions and helps to tackle climate change.

Home energy efficiency isn't just about lighting and appliance upgrades; it's also about keeping outdoor temperatures from getting inside and keeping comfortable indoor temperatures from leaking out.

By committing to make your home energy efficient you're investing in the comfort of your home, saving on your energy bill and helping the environment.
