Some Ontarians are eligible for free energy upgrades, which could help lower energy bills during the colder months.
"What we are offering are free, energy efficient upgrades, and we will come to your home, and there will be no cost," said Carrie Aloussis, Senior Manger at the Independent Electricity system Operator , an Ontario government agency.
"You can apply for one of the programs, and you will automatically be screened for both," Corrie Morton, energy conservation supervisor at Enbridge Gas, told CTV News Toronto."They will look up in your attic, they will look at your appliances, they'll look at all the things that may be eligible under both programs offered," said Morton.
While these programs are legitimate, homeowners may want to be wary of other companies going door-to-door or advertising online that they offer free appliances as they are trying to get homeowners to sign up for long-term, expensive rental contracts for furnaces, air conditioners and other items.
