Your Utility Company May Be Making You An Offer You Can’t Refuse, But If You Haven’t Been Reading Your Utility Bill Inserts…

You likely are in good company. But being in good company in this case only means that a lot of Allegheny Power customers are unaware that the electric utility serving most of Frederick County, Maryland wants to give you money.

The money to be found with Allegheny Power comes from two sources:

• Rebates for purchase of qualifying Energy Efficient Appliances and heating/cooling equipment and
• No-cost to Low-cost Energy Performance Programs

The Allegheny Power Web site provides details for how you can receive:

1. Up to $600+ in rebates from Allegheny Power when a variety of qualifying energy efficient appliances or HVAC products are purchased and
2. How an Allegheny customer can receive their Comprehensive Home Energy Audit, which will include a blower door test and thermal imaging of the customer’s home. Allegheny Power charges $140 for an invaluable service which, if contracted for privately, would cost roughly $500. And, as a further inducement for customers using this bargain service, Allegheny is giving clients, who know a deal when they see one, a free energy efficiency kit that will include items such as CFL’s, a low flow showerhead and faucet aerators.

The Comprehensive Home Energy Audit is a must for anyone who wants to make a serious dent in their electric bill and would like a road map for how to do so cost-effectively.
