Heat & Hot Water

Nova Scotians have several home heating options, including electricity, wood, gas, oil, solar and geothermal power.

Regardless of the heating source in your house, the best way to save money and help the environment is by reducing the amount of energy you use to produce the heat in your home.

Whatever type of heat you use to keep warm and heat your water, you can improve efficiency, save money, and help the environment with some easy tips.
