Optimize space heating

To help reduce energy loss, here are some things to do to maintain and program your heating appliances.

Install programmable thermostats

These devices offer better control over heating periods and temperature settings. Save energy by programming them differently for weekends and weekdays, depending on building occupancy. A drop of 1°C (1.8 °F) over a 24-hour period can reduce your heating costs by up to 5%. A decrease of 3°C (5.4 °F) over an 8-hour period can reduce your heating costs by up to 6%. See the grant available for the purchase of a programmable electronic thermostat.
