"""On the hottest weekday afternoons during the summer, when the use of air conditioners is greatest, Hydro Ottawa may remotely signal the thermostat to cycle your central air conditioning to reduce its electricity use for a brief period of time, typically up to four hours. Your fan will continue to run, so the change in temperature will hardly be noticeable, if at all, but the benefit to our community will be great. This will occur infrequently, typically on weekdays, not on weekends or holidays. Plus you will have the ability to opt out temporarily, upon request, twice a year if you need to"""

If you are OK with that.

I already did it in Jan 2009. It works for heating in winter (and AC in summer if you have). I got a cheque of $25 in April.

请问这个温度计尺寸是多少, 长x宽, 我家原来的thermostat挺大的, 怕city的尺寸小的话, 墙面没有粉刷过的地方会露出来.

另外, hydro是如何控制你家的空调的, 是另外接一根线到什么地方吗?

 

[还很远]

我猜是有电话线连接thermostat，遥控关闭和开启制冷。

 

[西西妈]

跟那些smart meters一样,无线的信号。另外，注册以后自己可以上网调自己家的温度。

What? I cannot understand your question.

The Programmable Thermostat works well in winter and in summer now for my AC.

No 外接一根线到什么地方

I had not felt any different from last year, --- anytime I turn my AC on, it works well to make coll air .

My thermostat 尺寸是 12x16cm.

HydroOttawa不是说在用电高峰期会自动减少空调使用量吗？
这两天挺热，Barrhaven都断电了，你没有觉出屋里温度区别吗？

I did it 2 years ago. In winter it was fine. But in Summer, they adjusted your room temperature to 26C, and you can't make it lower. That is the first floor temperature, the 2nd floor was very hot, I couldn't bear it. so I bought one myself in Canadian Tire only around $30, and changed it myself.

My opinion: no use at all.

Barrhaven 断电, for everybody not for my AC --- I am living in Barrhaven too. Like yesterday, I used my AC for all day long, no problem.

觉出屋里温度区别 because my Ac is working and made lower temperature.
