About Us
Our mission
At Dawn Energy, we believe every Canadian home can be efficient, electric, and easy to run.
Our mission is simple: to help homeowners confidently upgrade their homes to save money, reduce emissions, and enjoy a healthier, more comfortable space.
The Dawn Difference
Our Energy Intelligence Engine
Dawn’s Home Energy Intelligence Engine is the brain behind your customized plan.
With just a few details about your home, like its size, heating system, and energy provider, our engine can determine:
- Which upgrades make the most sense for your home
- How much you could save on your energy bills each year
- What your new, flat monthly cost could look like
It does this by running a detailed analysis of 4 key determining factors:
- Your home’s heating and cooling needs (based on your system’s historic data)
- Exact pricing for your electricity and gas, including time of use considerations
- Real world specifications of heat pumps, water heaters, solar panels, and more
- Exact installation costs, financing options, and maintenance schedules, directly from our network of installation partners
This approach takes the guesswork out of home upgrades. We don’t just say “you should electrify”, we show you exactly why it makes sense for your home, with numbers you can trust.
Managing your home's energy
Dawn’s is building toward a future where your home’s devices – from your heat pump to your solar panels and even your EV charger – can work together to become even more efficient and easy to manage.
That means:
- Live Performance Tracking: Verify your upgrades are performing as promised
- Optimization: Automatically shift energy use to cheaper time periods and maximize comfort
- Maintenance & Support: Stay worry free with proactive support from our extensive partner network
- Carbon Insights: Watch your savings rise and your emissions fall in real time
This is the future of home energy: data-driven, intelligent, and always working in your favor.
