Allegheny Power Helping Its Pennsylvania Customers Save Energy And Money
|
|
Allegheny Power is now offering new energy efficiency and conservation programs to help customers conserve electricity and save money.
Designed to reach all of Allegheny’s 715,000 customers in Pennsylvania, the new Watt Watchers programs target major energy-consuming systems such as heating, air conditioning, appliances, lighting, and manufacturing processes. The new programs are also intended to help meet the goals of Pennsylvania Act 129, which calls for utilities to achieve mandatory reductions in electricity consumption and demand over the next three years.
“Our new Watt Watchers programs can help families and businesses significantly reduce their electric bills,” said Rodney Dickens, President of Allegheny Power. “We are committed to giving our customers incentives to buy more energy-efficiency products as well as the latest information about new technologies and energy saving ideas.”
Approved by the Public Utility Commission, the new programs include:
-- Rebates for the purchase of high efficiency appliances, lighting, heating and cooling systems;
-- Rebates for the recycling of old room air conditioners, refrigerators and freezers;
-- Residential home audits and rebates toward implementing audit recommendations;
-- Special energy efficiency and weatherization services for low-income customers; and
-- Incentives for commercial, industrial and government customers to install efficient lighting, heat pumps, air conditioning systems and other offerings.
The programs are funded through a monthly surcharge tailored to each customer rate schedule. The typical residential customer using 1,000 kilowatts of electricity per month will see an increase of about $2 in their monthly bill. Energy savings from participating in the programs will help offset the charge and allow customers to save much more in future years.
For more information on the programs – including rebate forms, a free home energy analyzer, and tips on using energy wisely – visit the Watt Watchers section of the company’s website. Customers may also call toll-free at 877-928-8928.
