Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the wattage of an appliance?
Check the label on the back or bottom of the appliance for a watt (W) rating. You can also check the manual or manufacturer website. A Kill-A-Watt meter can measure actual consumption.
What is the average electricity rate in Canada?
Rates vary by province. Quebec has the lowest at ~$0.07/kWh. Ontario averages ~$0.13/kWh (TOU). Alberta and BC are around $0.10-0.14/kWh. Saskatchewan and Atlantic provinces range $0.12-0.17/kWh.
How can I reduce electricity costs?
Use energy-efficient appliances (look for ENERGY STAR), switch to LED lighting, use a programmable thermostat, wash clothes in cold water, and run major appliances during off-peak hours where time-of-use pricing applies.
