I admit it was not smart to let them in, but I did contact Enbridge and verified the company was part of their program. I didn't actually fill anything out. I only signed to acknowledge receiving the taps, and I have a copy of what I signed. <br /><br />Ironically enough, I now have a contact at Enbridge through work. I'm going to verify with her next time we talk.Savvy Farmgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00134591832998867216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205170328448039229.post-82520588969678436072011-10-03T19:37:49.259-04:002011-10-03T19:37:49.259-04:00You had to fill out a form with all your informati...You had to fill out a form with all your information on it too, didn't you. Think it odd that this guy didn't have your information already if he represented Enbridge? If he didn't know who you were, how did he know you were an Enbridge client?<br /><br />He *had* to install the showerhead to ensure it got used? What about those four lightbulbs and two aerators he gave you... did those have to get installed too to be sure they were used?<br /><br />Bottom line, nothing is free and Enbridge is selling your information... this guy now knows what the inside of your house looks like (and if he was a security contractor, he was probably looking for a home security panel too...) and just got your information.<br /><br />Still feel like you won?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205170328448039229.post-48242847853255011372011-08-08T19:19:53.825-04:002011-08-08T19:19:53.825-04:00NEVER let anyone in your home unless you called th...NEVER let anyone in your home unless you called them there yourself. This program is a government funded tax incentive to Enbridge funded by the Ontario Power Authority. It is legit, however there is always a safety concern when letting anyone in your house. They did come to my house, but left the shower aerieator for us to install ourselves. Best thing to do when someone comes to the door and you aren't sure if they are legit, is say - you aren't sure if they are legit and you are going to go google it. Chances are if they aren't legit, they'll be long gone when you return.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205170328448039229.post-43719103063800724352011-05-16T17:03:59.660-04:002011-05-16T17:03:59.660-04:00He was with an independant company, hired by Enbri...He was with an independant company, hired by Enbridge. He handed out a flyer on the program and explained. I just checked the program website, which is only one page on Enbridge's website, and it said they should come by with the flyer 48 hours before. He did not come before, but he otherwise seems the program is legit. I signed a form acknowledging he'd installed the shower head. Now that you've commented, I did a Google search and there are lots of stories out there similar to yours. I called Megacity Heating & Air Conditioning and recieved an answering machine. I then called Enbridge, and after going through several menu prompts, I did get to a list of their contractors providing the TAPS program. Megacity was listed. I feel more comfortable with allowing them in, but you raise a great point in not letting people into your house. I feel so naive this didn't cross my mind.Savvy Farmgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00134591832998867216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205170328448039229.post-36044829468749415062011-05-14T21:08:31.026-04:002011-05-14T21:08:31.026-04:00Was he actually with Enbridge or just wearing thie...Was he actually with Enbridge or just wearing thier logo and caseing out your home to rob it.
