Ontario’s weather is getting warmer and more unpredictable. With rising electricity prices and more heatwaves pushing Ontario’s energy grid to its limits, many homeowners are looking for simple, affordable ways to take back control, without sacrificing comfort. Turning off the lights when you leave the room just isn’t cutting it anymore.
Forget the light switch. The real hack to reduce energy consumption is already in your house, it’s your thermostat.

Ontario’s Save on Energy Peak Perks program makes this possible, and Enercare is helping homeowners make the switch with matching offers when you enroll in Peak Perks. Add in ecobee’s approach to sustainability, and you’ve got a powerful, no-regret way to stay comfortable while supporting more reliable grid.

The trade off? You get rewarded for small, time-limited adjustments to your smart thermostat on the hottest peak demand days in the summer.

The program is straightforward:

• $75 virtual prepaid Mastercard® just for enrolling your smart thermostat
• $20 virtual prepaid Mastercard® every year you stay in the program
• On a few hot afternoons, your thermostat bumps the temperature up by no more than 2°C
• You’ll get a notification before each event, and opting out is as easy as tapping a button.

That’s it! ecobee Smart Thermostats pre-cool your home before an event and adjusts the temperatures gradually.

ecobee has been rethinking home comfort since 2007, long before “smart home” was even a buzzword.

Smart tech shouldn’t be a luxury gadget. This is where Enercare steps in. Through their limited-time program, you can get a brand new ecobee Smart Thermostat for $75, a free Heating or Cooling Maintenance Plan and a $75 prepaid credit card.. It’s like you’re receiving the thermostat for $0. They’ll even manage the installation and setup, so all you have to do is sit back and enjoy a cooler, smarter home.

If you are a new or an existing Enercare customer, be sure to enroll in Peak Perks if you haven’t yet - Enercare will match the program’s $75 incentive. That’s a total of $150 in rewards for letting your thermostat flex its grid-saving muscles a few times each summer.

Peak Perks isn’t just about rewards, it’s rewiring how Ontario powers itself, one thermostat at a time. Every micro-adjustment you make at home scales up to something better for the grid.

When your thermostat eases off during peak demand, you’re helping :

• Your community and the province by reducing the stress on the grid
• To support a brighter Ontario by contributing to a reliable, affordable and sustainable grid

Multiply that by hundreds of thousands of homes, and you’ve got invisible, collective climate action that adds up fast.

Enrolling in Peak Perks is quick and easy,

1. Get a qualifying smart thermostat through Enercare like an ecobee with eco+ features that are designed to sync seamlessly with Peak Perks events
2. Enroll at SaveOnEnergy.ca/PeakPerks or directly in the ecobee app
3. Receive your $75 virtual prepaid Mastercard® reward (plus an additional $75 virtual prepaid credit card from Enercare if you're eligible!)
4. Let your smart thermostat do the work. On peak days, your thermostat may raise temperatures slightly (up to 2°C) for up to 3 hours, with built-in pre-cooling to keep your home comfortable
5. Stay enrolled and keep earning $20 every year

Next summer, be part of the sit back and relax community. With ecobee and Enercare, you’ll stay cool, earn rewards, and help build a more resilient Ontario grid.
