How does the Power Savings Blitz program work?
Energy assessors working for your LDC may go door-to-door within a targeted area and offer to provide a free energy assessment of lighting and water heating, to determine cost and savings opportunities. Typically, however, businesses will be contacted by a program representative to schedule a convenient time to conduct the free energy assessment. After the assessment is completed, the customer then decides if they want to have a retrofit completed. If so, a work order form and customer agreement is signed. Funding of up to $1,000 is provided for the retrofits, with an opportunity for the customer to pay costs over the $1,000 limit, at their discretion. The retrofit includes material and labour. The minimum amount for a retrofit is $300. Once the assessor completes the work order and customer agreement and it is signed by the customer, an appointment is booked for a licensed electrical contractor to come in and complete the turn-key retrofit.
