“The Big Dark” of winter is over and all of Issaquah is heading out to soak up the sun while temperatures start to steadily rise.
No matter what plans you may have this spring and summer, there are many ways to save money without leaving your home. Puget Sound Energy (PSE) is here to help.
April is Earth Month and PSE wants to remind customers that it has energy saving rebates aimed at keeping improvement costs low, reducing your carbon footprint, and even lowering your energy bills. You could say it’s a trifecta opportunity.
Whether your home improvement needs are big or small, PSE recommends these energy saving tips:
-
Clear the way for efficient heating and cooling.
Spring is a great time to clean heating registers and replace furnace filters. Looking to upgrade your heating system? Ductless heat pumps come standard with heating and cooling! Whether you need help deciding which equipment works for your home or you are considering specific options, PSE offers rebates on a variety of home heating equipment.
-
Take advantage of the latest home technology.
Devices like smart thermostats allow you to control and keep tabs on home heating usage from anywhere – and this year you can also take advantage of a $75 rebate on select models on the PSE Marketplace. Plus, you can enroll in PSE’s Flex Smart program, which offers additional incentives to save energy during times of peak energy demand.
-
Receive a $500 instant discount on electric hybrid heat pump water heaters.
Heating water is the second highest use of energy in your home. PSE is making it easy to buy efficient heat pump water heaters at participating Lowe’s and Home Depot locations.
-
Seal in the savings with home weatherization and insulation.
Proper insulation can help keep cool air in and summer heat out. You can also lower your energy bill by preventing heating or cooling loss through unseen leaks and seams with air sealing. New rebates for 2024 mean your weatherization project could be very low to no cost.
-
Make an energy saving plan.
The more you know, the more you can save. Understanding how much energy your home uses and assessing your home’s efficiency is the first step in staying comfortable year-round. Update your home’s profile in your pse.com account and use the “Analyze My Usage” tool to get customized energy saving tips and make a plan for your household.
