Upgrade and $ave!

Boost your bottom line by cutting energy costs with the new Power Savings Blitz program! The Ontario Power Authority and Toronto Hydro have teamed up to offer up to $1000 worth of free energy-savings retrofit work to qualified businesses. The program centres on savings made possible with energy-efficient lighting installations and equipment upgrades that reduce energy consumption and costs.

To be eligible for the Power Savings Blitz, you must:

• Be a small business, individually metered, with an electricity demand less then 50kW  
• Operate within the office or retail sub-sector
• Be ready to save up to $400 per year through reduced energy consumption!

Contact Dial One Wolfedale Electric and we’ll guide you in completing the program application. Once your application is approved, an advisor will conduct a no-obligation assessment of your facility and outline recommended energy-savings upgrades that will help your business reduce its energy demand. Once the upgrades have been identified, your business can implement the recommendations absolutely FREE, including material and labour of a minimum of $300 and maximum $1000. If the assessment includes options that exceed the funding limit, businesses can elect to complete the additional work at their own cost.

Dial One Wolfedale Electric can be chosen to complete retrofit projects identified under the Energy Savings Blitz program.  Requests to secure us as the contractor for your project must be done in writing at the time of assessment.  Visit www.torontohydro.com/savingsblitz or contact Dial One Wolfedale Electric today to find out more about the Power Savings Blitz program or to discuss your business’ eligibility for prospective retrofits and cost rebates!
