Refrigeration Appliance Program
The Great Refrigerator Roundup
Brantford Power, in conjunction with the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) is offering consumers The Great Refrigerator Roundup Program. The Great Refrigerator Roundup is designed to remove older inefficient fridges from the electricity system. These older refrigerators use two to three times more electricity than new refrigerators, wasting $120 to $150 per year in electricity.
Book an appointment today and we will come pick-up your appliances for FREE - we'll even haul it out of your basement and dispose of it in an environmentally responsible manner. When we are finished recycling and reclaiming material, very little will be sent to the landfill!
