Save Energy And Save Money

Met-Ed has introduced several new programs to help you save energy and money. The programs are part of the company’s plan to reduce customer energy usage and demand under Pennsylvania Act 129. By following a few simple steps, Met-Ed customers will be able to improve energy efficiency – and achieve energy savings – in their homes.

Home Energy Analyzer – visit Met-Ed’s website at www.energysavePA.com to access the new Home Energy Analyzer, an interactive tool that provides customized energy-efficiency tips and information based on your home’s age and characteristics, including insulation levels and the efficiency of existing space and water heating equipment and other appliances. Customers who complete the online energy audit will be entered to win a free laptop computer and will receive an energy conservation kit containing four compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs), four faucet aerators, two smart power strips and two LED night lights for completing the online audit.

Appliance Turn-In Program – receive a $35 rebate for turning in older, inefficient refrigerators and freezers. Customers who turn in an older refrigerator or freezer could save up to $150 a year on their electric bills. JACO Environmental, Inc. (Met-Ed’s vender) will pick up and recycle older appliances at a new facility in Hatfield, Montgomery County. To schedule an appointment to have your old appliance hauled away, contact JACO at 1-877-270-3521.

Appliance Rebate Program – In the market for a new appliance? Apply for rebates on Energy Star® qualified clothes washers, refrigerator-freezers, chest freezers, room air conditioners and dehumidifiers. Rebates on eligible appliances range from $10 to $75. For additional information, customers can call 1-866-498-1409 or visit www.energysavePA.com

Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs – discounts of $1 per CFL are available at many Costco, Sam’s Club, Wal-Mart, and other retail stores. By replacing incandescent light bulbs with CFLs, you can achieve energy savings of up to 15 percent. You will not be required to prove you are a Met-Ed customer to receive the discount. A complete list of retailers offering the CFL discount is available at www.energysavePA.com .

For programs designed to help commercial and industrial customers save energy and money visit www.energysavePA.com.
