BRAMPTON — Ontario Power Authority (OPA) is warning there are “unauthorized salespeople” operating in Brampton who are going door-to-door asking to examine furnaces and air conditioners.
“We don’t go door-to-door and we don’t do any inspections of heating or cooling equipment,” said John Cannella, OPA spokesperson.
He said OPA does not charge a fee to participate in any of its saveONenergy for Home conservation programs.
A Brampton resident alerted OPA to a door-to-door sales call this week. The bogus salesperson showed the homeowner a document and said the OPA had authorized the inspection of their heating and cooling equipment.
The OPA does not have salespeople and does not call consumers to solicit participation in the energy conservation programs.
“We want residents in your area to know that the OPA takes very seriously the unauthorized use of its name, logos, brands and program information,” Cannella said.
SaveONenergy programs are designed to help manage electricity costs by providing incentives that encourage energy conservation. For more information, visit https://www.saveonenergy.ca/

The program is available for residents (and businesses with residential-type systems) in Ontario who have purchased and installed eligible replacement central heating or cooling equipment through a participating contractor.
