SAVING ENERGY AND MONEY
Energy savings don’t need to be a sacrifice. They can oftentimes come as a small upgrade. While winter rages on for months ahead, your family may consider energy-saving items to help reduce your electricity use and cost. At Central Rural Electric Cooperative, our purpose is to improve our members’ quality of life. One way Central can do this is through appliance rebates for both residential and commercial members. Check out a few of the rebates offered below.
Smart Thermostat
The comforts of heating and cooling often come with a price tag during the winter and summer months. Smart thermostats can help reduce the amount of energy you use. Smart thermostats allow you to create a schedule for your home. This allows you to have the exact temperature you want when you are at your house while adjusting the temperatures while you’re away, resulting in energy savings.
Electric Water Heater
According to energystar.gov, a certified electric water heater can save a household of four or more approximately $470 per year on their electricity bill, compared to a standard electric water heater. Over the lifetime of the water heater, it provides more than $4,500 in savings.
EV Charging Station
Your family may be considering an electric vehicle for your future. Did you know you can receive a rebate for a new and UL listed Level 2 charging station?
Home Weatherization Project
There’s a rebate on Central’s website that offers a refund of 50 percent or up to $750 of the cost of repairs or improvements for weatherization and energy savings. Find these rebates and more at mycentral.coop.
