Direct Energy Offers Furnace Tune-Up For Philadelphia Electricity Customers
|
|
As rate caps are lifted in Southeastern Pennsylvania starting January 1, 2011 – nearly 1.5 million residential electricity customers in the PECO service area will be able to pick which company supplies electricity to their homes.
Now more than ever, consumers are conscious of managing their energy bills going into winter and looking for simple ways to ease the pressure on their pocket books.
With this in mind, Direct Energy is offering a competitive, guaranteed fixed-price electricity deal – with no cancellation fee and the bonus of a free furnace and air conditioning tune-up and safety check for the first 1,000 customers who enroll beginning November 17.
Direct Energy, one of North America's leading energy companies, is building on its 10 years of experience in supplying residential and business customers across the state to extend its electricity service to the PECO area.
The Direct Energy electricity deal: 12-month guaranteed fixed-price electricity at $0.0942 per kWh; no cancellation fee; senior citizens and military personnel will receive a discounted rate of $0.0922 per kWh; free furnace and air conditioning tune-up and safety check for the first 1,000 customers who enroll worth up to $300.
"We believe that customers should have a choice when it comes to their electricity supplier. With rate caps lifted, it allows for a level playing field for other electricity suppliers to offer customers a competitive price. Consumers like to shop around for great deals for their home, whether it's buying a new TV or finding the right cell-phone or cable package. Now, thanks to the legislative and regulatory support for competition in the energy market across the state, electricity customers in the Philadelphia area will finally have the power to choose their electricity supplier," said Steven Murray, President of Direct Energy's residential business.
Direct Energy is committed to providing competitive pricing and innovative products to help people manage their energy needs. Together with its home services company, One Hour Heating and Air Conditioning and our franchise partners in Pennsylvania, it is delivering a new offer to the first 1,000 customers who enroll to help get their homes ready for winter.
Each of those customers will receive a year's free membership to the "Comfort Club" maintenance program which will provide a precision tune-up and safety check of their homes heating and air conditioning equipment.
According to the Department of Energy, heating and cooling account for 43 percent of a typical home's energy costs. Combining proper equipment maintenance with other efficiency measures can cut consumers' heating- and cooling-related energy usage by 20 percent or more.
The company already has a strong and committed presence in Pennsylvania that serves residential, small business and commercial and industrial customers. Currently the company serves residential customers in PPL, Pike County, Duquesne Light and Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania service areas, from its regional headquarters in Pittsburgh.
