Home energy considerations

Ice storms and windstorms have caused significant outages in the region, so many homeowners value battery backup. Rural parts of the city are often on Hydro One rather than Hydro Ottawa.

03

Heating considerations

Most urban homes use natural gas furnaces; rural areas such as West Carleton, Osgoode and Cumberland have more oil, propane and wells — important for backup planning.
