Energy Savings Calculator

How Much Can You Save on Your Electricity Bill?

Upgrading to energy-efficient lighting is one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to reduce your electricity costs. Traditional incandescent bulbs convert only about 10% of the energy they use into light — the remaining 90% is wasted as heat. Modern LED bulbs, by contrast, use up to 80% less energy while lasting 25 times longer. For Toronto homeowners and businesses, these savings can add up to hundreds of dollars per year.

Our energy savings calculator uses current Ontario electricity rates and standard usage patterns to estimate your potential annual savings. Simply enter the number and type of fixtures you currently have, and the calculator will show you the projected savings from upgrading to LED or other energy-efficient options, along with the estimated payback period.

Tips for Reducing Electrical Costs

• •Replace all incandescent and halogen bulbs with LED alternatives — savings start immediately
• •Install dimmer switches to reduce energy consumption when full brightness isn't needed
• •Use motion sensors and timers for outdoor and hallway lighting to eliminate wasted electricity
• •Upgrade to ENERGY STAR-rated appliances and fixtures when it's time for replacement
• •Consider smart home automation to monitor and optimize your energy usage patterns
