Residential Programs

Residents 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 in the summer summer.

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 up to 10 times between June and September.
• 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.
• During an event, your thermostat will be automatically adjusted between two to four degrees Celsius to reduce your home’s energy consumption.
• 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. 

Participants receive a $75 electronic prepaid Mastercard when they enroll in Peak Perks. You’ll also receive a $20 electronic prepaid Mastercard for each additional year you remain enrolled, beginning in 2024.*

* Program participants who enrolled by September 30, 2024 will receive their $20 incentive for continued enrollment in 2025.
