Services include attic insulation, weather stripping and caulking for air leaks, exhaust fan dampers, air duct repair, water heater blankets, and low-flow showerheads. If you live in a home or apartment with permanently installed electric space heating, you may be eligible for free weatherization services. They use 70 percent less power than standard incandescent bulbs and last eight to ten times longer. Qualifying Edison customers are eligible for several free fluorescent bulbs, which can be used indoors or out. They use the natural cooling effect of evaporating water to lower the temperature of hot, dry outside air before circulating it inside the home.
Evaporative coolers operate most effectively in hot, dry areas.
Licensed contractors provide these devices and services. If your refrigerator is 10 years old or more, it uses as much energy as two of today's energy-efficient models. The recipient must have a grounded outlet for the refrigerator. In addition to weatherization, evaporative coolers, and compact fluorescent bulbs, Edison's LIEE program includes an energy education packet to help recipients improve the energy efficiency of their homes further. To avoid power shortages, Southern California Edison is asking you to conserve energy and we're providing a variety of options to help.
