So you won’t have to pay or do a thing. And by ridding yourself of that old, energy-guzzling fridge, you could save up to $125 a year on your electricity costs.

| Service updated 12:12 pm on Thursday Mar. 31st, 2011.Peaksaver
More info: https://saveonenergy.ca/Consumer/Programs/Peaksaver.aspxDuring 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 times. If you have a central air conditioner (CAC), you can help the province to manage this peak demand by enrolling in peaksaver. Enrolling is easy and it’s free! Your participating local electric utility will install the necessary device (either a thermostat or switch). This device will allow your CAC to receive a signal that will cycle it down, which may increase your home’s temperature by only 1°or 2° C for short periods of time. The adjustment will only occur during weekdays and never on weekends or holidays, most likely between 1 p.m. – 6 p.m.
