CLEVELAND, July 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Eligible
residential customers of Dominion East Ohio will find that they can
save several ways with the company's Home Performance with ENERGY
STAR® program. This program includes a home energy
assessment to help diagnose high utility usage and other home
comfort issues, and then provides rebates of up to $1,250 for completion of recommended
energy-efficiency improvements. From now until August 31, the cost of the home energy assessment
is half-off or just $25
each.
"Since 2010, this program has helped over 15,000 homeowners find
small steps to save energy, and identify larger projects that could
save them considerable money," said Jeff
Murphy, Dominion East Ohio vice president and general
manager. "We're excited to offer a special summer deal on the cost
of a home energy assessment."
The assessment is the first step in the program. An energy
auditor visits customers' homes to help pinpoint energy losses
through diagnostic testing and a professional evaluation. Following
the energy assessment, customers receive a customized energy report
with the results, plus recommendations and rebates available
through the program.
Recommended improvements typically include air sealing and
insulation, HVAC equipment upgrades, window and door replacements,
plus much more. These improvements can help customers decrease
utility bills, while increasing home comfort, safety, durability
and resale value.
Residential customers also may receive such products as a
programmable thermostat or carbon monoxide detector,
high-efficiency showerheads and water-saving faucet aerators at no
cost (a $100 value).
Customers who could most benefit from an energy assessment are
those who may be experiencing drafts and fluctuating room
temperatures, moisture and mold issues or those who have
inefficient cooling and heating equipment in an older or
poorly-built home. Dominion East
Ohio customers should call 1-877-287-3416 to schedule an
assessment or visit deohpwes.com for program details and
eligibility information. CLEAResult is administering the
program.
