The Final Four: Your Game-Winning Plan for Energy Savings
Wednesday, April 2, 2014
As we head into the Final Four tournament, we have a
game-winning plan that will help you reduce energy usage and earn money back in
your pocket. For sports enthusiasts, we often hear the best offense is a good
defense, so when it comes to helping customers, we offer some resources and tools.
1.) First,
make your playbook.
Every sports team runs from a well-thought-out
playbook. Identify your strong points,
and pinpoint areas for improvement.
Similarly, develop a plan to start saving energy at
home. Start your plan by making your
roster – think about your team players, including everyone within your
household who is using energy; take a look at your habits and how you’re using
energy; and lastly, make a list of the available resources you can call on for
help, like our energy efficiency programs.
We offer the Online Home Energy Analysis for customers who
want recommendations to save energy. In
about ten minutes, customers can log in to their online account and answer a
series of questions about their home. Based on their home’s actual energy
usage, they will receive a detailed report with recommendations and tips to
make their home 10% more energy efficient.
2.) Give
yourself the home-court advantage.
Get started on your plan today. Customers can sign up for our Demand Conservation Program and earn energy bill credits from June through September
for participating in our program. Start your summer on the right foot, knowing
that you’ll be earning energy bill credits this summer by participating in our
program.
3.) Don’t
leave your best players on the bench.
Have you purchased a new ENERGY STAR® certified
dishwasher? Plan to replace your air
conditioner before the summer temperatures set in? Don’t forget LG&E and KU customers who
purchase qualifying energy-efficient products and appliances may be eligible
for Home Energy Rebates, ranging from $50 - $300. Whether you have purchased a
qualifying product or you plan to upgrade soon, make sure you’re not leaving
your rebate on the bench.
4.) Cut your
losses when you have to.
On game days, an extra refrigerator may come in handy for
the crowd gathered in your living room rallying for the “big win.” But, that same extra refrigerator chugging
around the clock may be using nearly two times the amount of energy, when
compared to today’s more energy-efficient ENERGY STAR certified models.
Through LG&E and KU’s Fridge and Freezer Recycling Program, a trained collection team will haul away and properly recycle the
appliance, and in return, customers will receive a check for $50.
5.) Go for
the full-court press.
Take advantage of LG&E and KU’s full portfolio of energy
efficiency programs. Customers who
participate in our programs can put as much as $1,700 back in their
pockets. Now that’s a game-winning plan
to help manage your energy usage and earn money back for your energy-efficient
upgrades.
