With the holiday season quickly approaching, SaskPower appears to be in the giving mood.

The Crown Corporation is looking to give out 50,000 block heater timers beginning this weekend, and each weekend until December 10.
 
The goal is keep block heaters efficient while also providing savings in our wallet, according to SaskPower's Gary Tollefsen... "Depending on how their using it, our estimates are if you have a standard block heater and are also using an interior car warmer... you can save up to $65.00 over the season." 

Tollefson adds the energy saved from reducing the time you leave your vehicle plugged in from 12 hours to 4 hours is the equivalent of removing 700 vehicles off the road.
 
In Swift Current, you can get your timer at Peavey Mart in the Wheatland Mall this Saturday and Sunday, and at Canadian Tire in Swift Current the weekends of December 3 and 10.
