What burns me... We are forced to save on energy consumption every which way, do as much as possible on "off peak" hours. Our reward for doing such a great job in consuming less, rates have to increase because of that. WTF!!!

Doing basically the same with leds, off peak hours use, etc. But the latest bill is $100 more than last years even though it's been a milder winter so far.

My off-peak percent is 70.92, mid-peak is 13.85% and on-peak is 15.23%...is this good? How does it compare to others?

Ha ha, Trudeau sure can tap dance, left Wynne fluttering in the wind by deflecting the blame.

He failed to mention that the Feds forced the Provinces to put in the Carbon Tax. If they didn't, he would have brought it in anyway.

^^^ Exactly!

The savings in lights are minimal. Go after inductive loads like motors. For example standard furnace blower motor on most high efficiency furnaces will draw 5-6 amps at 115volt. My furnace having an ECM motor draws 1 amp on the same application.

Ontarians are paying American company to not produced power....and North Bay loses good paying jobs.

There is absolutely nothing these morons touch that is not a complete and utter cluster fawk. Paying the US company not to produce power until the end of the year, who in their right mind would agree to it??
The Ontario Liberal party, who else.

How do you tell if you have an ECM? I thought all high efficiency furnaces had variable speed motors? It seems counterintuitive to put a less efficient motor on a "high efficiency" appliance.

Either way, that's not going to explain our 40% more usage than our neighbours because every house in our neighbourhood has the same furnace installed by the builder.
