If you live in Aurora or the Greater Toronto Area, your electricity bill isn’t just about how much power you use — it’s also about when you use it.
A home battery backup stores low-cost, off-peak electricity and releases it during expensive peak hours. Many of our customers save up to 75% on their hydro bills with this simple shift — and still enjoy reliable backup power during outages.
The key is choosing the right battery size to maximize your savings and keep your home running when it matters most.

4 Important Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Home Battery Backup
1. How much of your usage happens during peak hours?
The more you shift to off-peak or Ultra-Low Overnight rates, the more you’ll save.
2. How often do you want to cycle the battery?
Daily cycling maximizes savings; occasional cycling focuses on outage protection.
3. Do you want partial or whole-house battery backup?
A whole-home battery backup helps cut bills while keeping big appliances running.
4. Any big upgrades coming?
If you plan to add an EV charger, heat pump, or solar panels, choose a battery storage for home that can expand.
