Sign up for peaksaver and get a credit of $75 or more

Join over 60,000 Toronto households and businesses by signing up for our peaksaver® program. With peaksaver, we’ll install a small device near your central or roof-top air conditioner to reduce the amount of electricity used during peak times. This is usually on hot summer afternoons when air conditioners are running at a maximum. A signal is sent to the peaksaver device to temporarily cycle down your air conditioner. You likely won’t notice any change in temperature in your home and business.

Enroll at torontohydro.com/peaksaver or 1-877-487-8574. Once the device is installed, you can receive $75 off your electricity bill!

Take peaksaver one step further by signing up for PowerShift

PowerShift® is a program that shifts some of your air conditioner use to off-peak hours. Think of PowerShift as peaksaver plus. The peaksaver device automatically cycles your air conditioner into conservation mode when temperatures reach 27ºcelsius or higher. PowerShift is a “set it and forget it” way to reduce air conditioning usage on hot days. PowerShift will only be activated on weekdays and never on weekends or holidays

Do your part to lower demand during critical peak times this summer. Sign up at torontopowershift.com*.

* Must be a peaksaver customer to enroll for PowerShift

You decide with time-of-use rates!

With smart meters and Time-of-Use (TOU) rates, you can better manage your electricity costs and help with conservation efforts across the province.

Time-of-Use rates are based on off-peak, mid-peak and on-peak periods, so you decide when and how to best use electricity. .If, for example, you run your dishwasher or do your laundry after 9 p.m. and on weekends, you’ll pay a lower rate.

Be in control and learn how to shift your usage to lower cost periods. Manage your costs by tracking your personal usage at torontohydro.com/tou
