HEAT PUMPS
Heat pumps offer an energy-efficient alternative to furnaces and air conditioners for all climates. Like your refrigerator, heat pumps use electricity to transfer heat from a cool space to a warm space, making the cool space cooler and the warm space warmer.
During the heating season, heat pumps move heat from the cool outdoors into your warm house. During the cooling season, heat pumps move heat from your house into the outdoors.
Because they transfer heat rather than generate heat, heat pumps can efficiently provide comfortable temperatures for your home.
HEAT PUMP INCENTIVES – Purchase and install a new heat pump to receive up to $5,000 for an air source heat pump or $10,000 for a ground source heat pump. For more information please visit HomeEnergySaver Program | Save on Energy
ELECTRIC VEHICLES
Electric Vehicles are the exact same as gas cars; they have the same performance, comfort and styling with one major difference, they use electricity instead of fossil fuel. Representatives from PlugNDrive will be on hand to talk about Electric Vehicles and things to know about prior to purchasing. They will also be bringing several vehicles to test drive.
NOTL Hydro doesn’t know when a resident purchases an Electric Vehicle. When there are several EVs charging on the same transformer there are potential issues with overloading local transformers. In other words, let us know when you get an EV so that we can keep track of our transformer loading and avoid potential outages. CONTACT US
