6 Ask Christina Top of the charts Q: A: Q: A: Q: A: Christina, our e-correspondence expert, answers your questions about ebills. IS MY ebill THE SAME AS A PAPER BILL? Yes, your electronic bill will contain all the information that appears on your paper bill. The only difference is that ebills are accessible online anytime, in one convenient place. HOW WILL I KNOW A NEW BILL IS AVAILABLE? We ll send you a notification every time a new bill is ready online. DO I HAVE TO BACK UP MY BILLING INFORMATION ON MY COMPUTER? We securely store up to two years of past bill and payment history online, so there s no need to make backups during this time. Four appliance trends to watch for Customization and convenience lead the trends in home appliances this year and don t forget energy efficiency. 1 SMART SENSING Sensors make appliances more efficient, and life a little easier. The latest washers, for example, can adjust cycles automatically according to fabric and load levels to help save water. ENERGY STAR certified dryers use moisture sensors that detect when clothes are dry and stop the cycle automatically. CONNECTIVITY Monitor and control the latest appliances right from your smart phone. Think ovens that notify you when your food is ready, or refrigerators with wireless cameras that allow you to peek inside while you re out getting groceries. 3 CUSTOMIZATION New appliances adjust to your lifestyle with handy pre-set options. Some dishwashers have special programs for half-loads or delicate glasses. You can also set them to run automatically during off-peak hours when electricity rates are lowest. 4 ENERGY EFFICIENCY With every generation of products, energy efficiency continues to improve. This is a priority for consumers, as saving on water and energy costs means the appliance can pay for itself sooner
7 Take the plunge! UPGRADE YOUR POOL PUMP WITH A $400 REBATE! Most swimming pool pumps run 4/7, often at a higher speed than necessary for the task. That s a big opportunity to save energy! Get $400 to upgrade from a constant-speed to a variablespeed pool pump. You ll save on the purchase price and on electricity costs year after year. Rebates? HOW REFRESHING! Ticket price Annual energy consumption Average annual electricity cost COMPARE THE COSTS OF UPGRADING CONSTANT- SPEED PUMP $450,196 kwh $369 VARIABLE- SPEED PUMP $1,00 $400 rebate = $ kwh $73 Road warriors Why electric vehicles are leading the charge They re quiet, convenient and cost less to drive. If you re thinking of buying an electric vehicle (EV), it s now easier than ever to make the switch. GET MONEY BACK Government incentives give back up to $14,000 for an EV and up to $1,000 for a home charging station. BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT Reduce your greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 90%. Do you own or plan to buy an EV? 1 SPEND LESS Save hundreds of dollars a year on gasoline and on maintenance. Save even more by charging during off-peak hours. Over time, your car could pay for itself! DRIVE FURTHER A single charge can take you 140 to 450 km and, if you need a boost, there are more than 4,000 public charging stations Canada-wide.
