7 Tips for Living Off the Grid in Canada
Living off the grid entails generating enough electricity to handle all your household needs. The amount of solar panels or the size of the wind turbine depends on what lifestyle you may want to achieve. Just the act of making toast can take thousands of dollars of solar panels for the power generation. However, once the front-end costs are recouped the lack of an electricity bill is liberating.

Understanding Energy Audits
In and effort to save energy resources a Canadian Natural Resources program called ecoEnegy is offering up to $10,000 in rebates for energy saving renovations including heating systems, insulation and window replacement. An audit by professionals is required before and after the renovation so that an accurate tally of all energy-saving refits can be assessed. An additional $1350 in tax savings is also offered for other renovations.
