What You Can Do

Thermostat
A Little Warmer in the Summer –
A Little Cooler in the Winter
  • Trim home heating costs by up to 6% by lowering your thermostat by 3° C at night and when no one's at home.
  • Install a programmable thermostat to automatically change the temperature of your home at night or when you're away.
  • Leave the air conditioning a few degrees warmer so it runs less often.
  • Plant trees – it's a natural way to insulate your home.
