The PA Resources Council East is continuing to conduct educational outreach on the PECO Smart Ideas Program in 2014 which is designed to help customers reduce energy consumption through conservation and efficiency.

The education staff visits fairs, festivals, markets and home shows to share information with residents in the PECO service region. Most of the ideas are low or no cost. Unplugging to reduce "Phantom Draw" is one example. Switching to CFL or LED bulbs is another. In addition, there are incentives to purchase energy efficient appliances and equipment for those willing to invest in energy reduction options.

January begins the Home Show season. First up is the ACS Greater Philadelphia Spring Home Show held at the Valley Forge Resort, 1160 First Ave., King of Prussia, Montgomery County. We will be there January 10, 11 and 12. For more information about show hours please visit the website or contact Jayne Young at 610-353-1555 ext. 222 or send email to: young@prc.org.
