Energy efficiency means using less energy to accomplish the same task. The more efficient use of energy throughout our country results in less money spent on energy by homeowners, schools, government agencies, businesses, and industries. The money that would have been spent on energy can instead be spent on consumer goods, education, services, and products. (For more economic impact information, see the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy and the Alliance to Save Energy Web sites.)

An energy-efficient economy can grow without using more energy. In 1998, for instance, the U.S. gross domestic product increased by 3.9%, while U.S. energy use decreased by 0.3%.

TESTIMONIALS

“I had experts looking over my home and I was able to have specific questions answered. This energy audit is an amazing deal for $40.” Jennie, Longfellow |
“Great value and love that they installed materials for me! Plus we had no clue how to prioritize projects – they really helped.” Matt and Laura, Kingfield |
“The experience was great. I felt that I was doing something that will change how I consume energy and help me to save money going forward.” Bill, Longfellow |

“ I had the home energy audit a couple of months ago and would be HAPPY to have a sign in my yard. I LOVED it. Found out my electricity use is very low (YEA) and how to finally weatherstrip that darned basement door for once and for all. ”
Luanne, Linden Hills |
“A big THANKS is in order. We just replaced our ancient boiler with a new 95%+ efficient boiler/water heater system. We could do this ONLY because LHP&L got us hooked up with CEE’s Community Energy Services program. With their help, we got a loan and are eligible for multiple rebates/tax credit, so we could afford to replace it! No more worrying if that old thing will make it through the winter. Yea! ”
Deb and Doug, Linden Hills |
“These guys were extremely helpful in telling me what to focus on first; otherwise I wouldn’t have a clue. My house is very old and I can’t do everything but they helped me figure out where I am losing the most heat.” “So lucky to have a program like this in the neighborhood – really like the “empowerment” aspect (concrete behavioral steps that can improve bills and energy consumption) – incredible value – the nice and devoted staff!” |
