Key System Upgrades: Enhancing Home Energy Efficiency
Looking to cut energy costs and boost your home's efficiency? Toronto homeowners are turning to advanced systems that make a real difference. Here’s a clear, easy-to-understand look at some energy-saving options supported by the HER+ program:

Geothermal Heat Pumps
A smart choice for both heating and cooling, geothermal heat pumps use the earth's steady temperatures to make your home comfortable. They're a top pick for reducing energy use and keeping your home cozy in winter and cool in summer.

Air Source Heat Pumps
Air source heat pumps cut heating energy use nearly in half compared to standard electric heating. They work by moving heat from outside to inside during winter and reverse in summer, offering an energy-smart alternative for home comfort.

Efficient Water Heaters
Enjoying a hot shower while knowing you're saving energy is possible with high-efficiency water heaters. These systems provide the comfort you desire more efficiently, positively impacting both your expenses and the environment

Smart Thermostats
Smart thermostats revolutionize energy saving by automatically adjusting your home's heating and cooling. By learning your routine, these devices maintain comfort during your at-home hours and cut energy usage when you're away.

Why are Toronto homeowners choosing these energy-efficient upgrades? They're seeing lower energy bills, enjoying more comfortable homes, and getting rebates through programs like HER+.
