powerWISE® House

The powerWISE House is your one-stop online tool for home conservation tips and energy saving hints, with over 20 power saving and conservation techniques that highlight how you can significantly reduce your own home electricity use. Explore the house room by room to see how some of the simplest changes can substantially reduce your electrical bill over the course of a year.  Just look for the  icon and click to enable the savings. Once you've enabled the items you would like to add to your savings, see how the savings add up for a typical Ontario household. Finally select 'See Impact Province Wide' to understand how your chosen conservation techniques extended across all, or a portion, of the households across Ontario, would help reduce overall energy consumption in the Province. *Please note, since the powerWISE site is focused on electricity conservation and the majority of households in Ontario are not heated with electricity, the application does not currently feature home heating related savings. However energy use for home heating is substantial. For home heating related conservation technique a number of other useful resources are available online:
