temperature: every season, its situation
Spring

Spring is coming. In Quebec, the days can be very hot and the nights very cool.
You can enjoy it in different ways to better consume.
Summer
With the onset of warm weather, you try to cool off in a
variety of ways and your electricity bill suffers. For example, if you have a
pool or an air conditioner, your consumption increases. You can, however, use
our energy savings solutions to reduce your electricity costs.
Autumn
In some places, it is in the fall that most people start
heating their homes and, consequently, adjust the thermostats to the desired
temperature.
The thermostat modulates the power of the heating system to
maintain the desired temperature. When it is 15 ° C outside, the heating system
is low demand, and consumption is moderate.
Winter
In winter, especially in very cold weather, your heating
system runs at full speed. If it is powered by electricity, it is normal that
your consumption increases.
For the same type of dwelling, heating consumption varies by
region. For example, as winter is longer and colder in some place, heating is
more expensive.
Winter, it heats!
Your bill indicates that your electricity consumption has
increased even if you have not touched your thermostat? It's normal. The colder
it gets in the winter, the cooler the house and the more your heating system
has to work to maintain the comfort temperature. And the more it consumes
energy.
