Thanks for the tip; you can be sure we’ll be checking with our power company, Horizon Utilities, now to see if we can’t be “quad-dipping” soon too!

For improvements like insulation, windows, etc we get a HRTC credit, federal ecoEnergy rebate + provincial matching and then a separate rebate from the power company. I hired a contractor to upgrade my attic insulation last week and once I receive the 4 rebates, I'll actually be making money for doing so (the total rebates add up to more than the contractor charged me to do the job!). As well I recently purchased 4 Energy Star digital thermostats at $30 each, after 4x rebates they work out to roughly $4 each. It's worth checking to see if your power company does the same.
