Enjoy Easy Breezy Savings with These Energy Efficiency Tips

As the temperatures rise, so can your energy savings. Check out our top summer energy efficiency tips and enjoy a cool, comfortable home without breaking a sweat. These simple tricks will help you stay chill and save big all season long:

Light Up Summer Nights with LEDs

Brighten those balmy summer evenings with the glow of LED lights. Not only do they use 75% less energy than old-school incandescent bulbs, they’ll also last longer, keeping your get-togethers lit in more ways than one!

Dehumidify Only as Needed

Humidity making you sticky? Dehumidify just when necessary and opt for ENERGY STAR® models, which sip energy 15% more efficiently. Keep your cool while cranking up the savings!

Take Shorter Showers

Shave time off your showers and save up to $37 a year. It’s a win-win: you’ll be refreshed, and your wallet will thank you. Plus, more time for summer fun.

Keep It Cool

Keep your indoor cool factor high by closing the curtains against the sun’s rays. Or better yet, fire up the grill instead of the oven for those summer feasts—it’s tasty and keeps your home cool.

Did you know that insulation isn’t just good at keeping heat in during the winter—it’s also great at keeping homes cool in the summer. If your home needs more basement or attic insulation, check out our takeCHARGE rebates. You can get back up to 75% of the cost of insulation.

Use a Clothesline

Channel your inner eco-warrior by hanging your laundry to dry instead of using the dryer. Capture those summer breezes and save around $40 a year—your clothes and planet will love you for it.

Unplug and Enjoy

Unplug your devices and step outside. Save about 3% on electricity costs by disconnecting and savouring energy-free activities like a stroll in the park. It’s time to embrace those unplugged vibes of summer.
