Common questions
Is there a way to get a smart thermostat for more than $125 back in Markham?
The provincial $125 rebate is the main lever in Markham. Peak Perks is a separate province-wide Save on Energy program for homes with central air or a heat pump: enroll an eligible smart thermostat and get a $75 prepaid card, then $20 a year for staying in, in exchange for small thermostat adjustments on peak summer days.
What thermostat brands are eligible in Markham?
Six brands are currently eligible under the provincial program: ecobee, Google Nest, Honeywell Home, Copeland Sensi, Mysa, and Sinopé. The exact qualifying models change occasionally, so confirm the specific model number against the program's list rather than assuming every unit from those brands counts.
