Common questions
How much is the smart thermostat rebate in Timmins?
$125 flat. You can get it as an instant rebate at the point of purchase from a participating retailer, or apply by mail after buying it yourself.
Which thermostat brands qualify in Timmins?
ecobee, Google Nest, Honeywell Home, Copeland Sensi, Mysa, and Sinopé, per the eligible-brands list on the main Timmins rebate page. Confirm the specific model is on the current qualified list before buying.
Is a smart thermostat worth it given how cold Timmins gets?
The rebate amount doesn't change, but a colder climate with a longer heating season generally means more total run-time for your furnace or heat pump — which is where a smart thermostat's scheduling and setback features have more days per year to save you money.
Your utility: Hydro One
Timmins is served directly by Hydro One rather than a municipal utility. Hydro One's old peaksaver PLUS free-thermostat program ended in 2017 after a decade of service, and we found no confirmed replacement demand-response thermostat program on Hydro One's site as of this writing. The $125 rebate below is a separate, still-active provincial program that applies regardless. For more, see the City of Timmins Community Energy Plan. Hydro One.
