This after the Auditor General said we overpaid for the government’s green energy plan by some $37 billion
I think the money is coming from the cap and trade tax on home heating etc.
I think the Liberals are desperate. They are giving so many goodies.
Hmmm. Election? June 4, 2018?
Hmmm.
Gas Prices / Heating bill is going up by about 5% in near future specially the C&T prices… Liberal thinks by giving away (our hard earned money) they can still win it… I don’t think so it will that easy…
C&T = CAP and Trade

You have to have someone come to your house, you can’t strictly get a Nest thermostat for free; there is probably a string attached.
Not really a great deal.
Do u know what the deal is
So I called them and they advised that although the Thermostat is free, I would have to pay $425 for installation.
425$,,,,, Seriously……
So I called too and I was told there is zero cost to the item and installation …
I will have to double confirm this when the agent calls for appointment.

This blog post is misleading… shows a NEST but you wont get a NEST. You’re far more likely to get one by Sinope. Other power companies have provided similar programs across the country and they were all given Sinope Smart Thermostats. — In fact, I participated in my province. They provided 4 thermostats for me in key areas of my house. — I got to keep them afterward.
added — they were installed for free by my power company. There is no cost to me. I just had to answer regular questionnaires and allow for remote-control of my thermostats (they never adjusted more than a few degrees, and I was always allowed to re-adjust). The idea is to prove that staggering morning startup times for heat in the winter among homes prevents large burst and loads on the generating plants.
is there an installation fee. Why does someone need to come to the home
hahaha, I told you. Gullible’s.
Directly from the Government of Ontario website:
“This includes the new GreenON Installations program, which opened early registration today. Interested and eligible households can register to have a Green Ontario Fund-trained technician visit and install a smart thermostat at no cost.”
Hope it’s for real and anything that will help our environment without costing us more sounds great to me. Thank you
Does this mean that they can turn off your air conditioning or heating during emergencies?
