Recommended temperature settings

Maximize your savings by setting or programming your thermostats to these temperatures:

Daytime or evening

17°C if you’re out
20°C if you’re home

Nighttime

17 °C whether you’re home or not

The Québec Building Act requires that thermostats be installed by a master electrician accredited by the Corporation des maîtres électriciens du Québec (CMEQ). Consult the directory of CMEQ members.

An electronic thermostat reacts very quickly to tiny changes in temperature (±0.5°C), unlike conventional models (±2°C). So your indoor temperature is always comfortable, no matter what it’s like outside. This is how it works:

A sensor continually reads the ambient temperature.
The thermostat controls the length of time your baseboard heaters are in operation.
It keeps the temperature exactly where you want it.
It displays a precise reading of the ambient temperature.

Turn up the comfort! Program settings for easier living
