The IESO is partnering with Enbridge Gas to offer two programs to help Ontario homeowners: the Home Winterproofing Program and the Energy Affordability Program.
Depending on income, Ontarians could get free thermostats, insulation, and potentially a new refrigerator. And those who qualify for one of these programs will automatically be eligible for the other.
"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.
Once deemed eligible, an energy assessor will conduct an at-home inspection.
