Getting your usage history in Peterborough
Most of Peterborough is served by Hydro One for electricity and Enbridge Gas for natural gas.
What the analysis shows
Peterborough gets about 4,268 heating degree-days a year, a measure of how much heating its climate needs, and its winter design temperature, the cold day heating systems are sized for, is −23.3°C. Those figures come from the climate data for Peterborough in HOT2000, the home-energy software Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) gives energy advisors. Weather-normalizing your bills against those degree-days separates heating from baseload (lights, appliances, hot water), so you can see how much of the bill a heating upgrade can actually touch, and compare a mild year with a harsh one fairly.
In Peterborough, summer air conditioning also shows up on the electricity bill: compare your July and August use with a spring month to see roughly what cooling costs, and how much a heat pump or better attic insulation could take off it.

Why weather-normalize bills?
A cold winter raises heating bills even if nothing about the house changed, and a hot summer raises cooling bills. Normalizing to degree-days lets you compare years fairly and measure real savings.
