Consumers Energy Saving Solutions offers a wide range of incentives to help customers reduce their utility bills by using energy more efficiently. Those incentives include discounts on compact fluorescent light bulbs at participating retailers and rebates for buying high-efficiency appliances, such as air conditioners, furnaces, and water heaters.
Customers also may collect a $30 bounty if they’ve got a second refrigerator or freezer ready to be recycled. On top of the $30 check, a Consumers Energy contractor will pick up the appliances for free.
“Our energy efficiency programs will help our customers save money by lowering their energy bills. We’re excited to launch this major energy efficiency effort and we’re looking forward to working with customers, our business trade allies, and the Michigan Public Service Commission, to make it a success,” said Terry Mierzwa, Consumers Energy’s manager of marketing, energy efficiency and research.
Mierzwa added the aggressive energy efficiency effort will create new jobs, especially for the local businesses that will install the high-efficiency equipment and perform energy upgrades in homes and businesses.
Consumers Energy is a US-based provider of natural gas and electricity to nearly 6.5 million of Michigan’s 10 million residents in all 68 Lower Peninsula counties.
