Instant Saving Measures Although they may not be eligible for rebates, there are several instant saving measures that a homeowner can perform to help curb energy consumption. Installation of compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL’s) and low flow shower heads (well pumps) can lower usage along with air drying laundry and adjusting thermostats on electrical appliances. Energy Star appliances and electronics when replacing existing ones are a good practice also. Local Energy Advisor You can always consult your local TVEC energy advisor for more information.
