Plug Into Power Company for Energy Savings

(HIT) - The energy needed to power, light, heat, and cool the typical home grows bigger each year. Larger houses with more electric appliances are the reasons why. In fact, according to Edison Electric Institute, the average house today uses about 20 percent more electricity than it did in 1978.

With energy use rising, it’s important to make sure you’re getting the most value out of every dollar you spend on energy. Besides saving money, you’ll also be helping to protect the environment.

For help in becoming more energy efficient, turn to your electric company. Your electric company can offer you free, expert advice. Many companies also have special energy-saving programs or services. Some examples include:

  • Financial incentives to encourage you to buy energy-saving appliances and home weatherization materials (such as windows, doors, and insulation).
  • Home energy audits you can do right from your own computer. An online energy audit can show you where your home may be wasting energy.
  • Your electric company may also have payment plans that enable you to balance out your energy costs over an entire year.
