Well, we are in the thick of summer — my favorite season. Those who know me know that’s absolutely not true. I loathe summer. It’s my least favorite season. However, there are ways to stay cool and save thousands. In this episode, I’ll be sharing five summer energy-saving tips, plus Ontario rebates explained.

Ciao! Welcome to a new episode of Building Wealth Through Real Estate...Brick by Brick with me, Nico James-Bock, Founder of The CondoWiz™ Group and Broker at Keller Williams Co-Elevation Realty in Toronto.

Summer cooling costs can take a bite out of your monthly budget. But with smart planning — and a little help from federal, provincial, and local rebate programs — you can make your home more comfortable and energy-efficient.
