That's what Brampton homeowner Rosemary, like many Ontarians, had often wondered. Rosemary's home was built in 1972 and at fifty years old it was drafty, especially through the windows, electrical outlets and attic hatch. One afternoon while she was watching TV, a news reporter mentioned the Enbridge Gas HomeWinterproofing Program, which provides free insulation, draft proofing and a smart thermostat to income-qualified homes. She thought it sounded like a good idea, so she took a few minutes and applied. Not long after she learned that she qualified, she received a visit from a program delivery agent, who checked her home and confirmed she could receive free insulation and draft proofing. Once the free upgrades were installed, Rosemary saw a difference almost immediately. "I noticed a big difference in the comfort. The upstairs was definitely much warmer in winter and much cooler in the summer." Like many older adults, Rosemary is on a fixed income, so every little bit she can save on energy use helps with household budgeting. "I budget very carefully," she says. "Saving money on heating helps me, my budget, a great deal." If your home qualifies, there is no catch--the program really is free and there is no cost to the homeowner. It may sound too good to be true, but in fact more than 22,000 Ontario households have participated in the Home Winterproofing Program. Could yours be next? "One of my friends said she'd heard about it but she thought it was a scam," Rosemary says. "And so I told her no. I said, 'I've been in touch and they've done it for me.'" If you're looking for ways to save energy and live more comfortably and sustainably at home, take Rosemary's advice and apply. "You've got nothing to lose," she says. "It's free. The workmen that came were great and the assessor was really nice and everybody has been really good and it's been very efficient and I would really recommend it."
