Ted and Ann Teffry saved 40% on their energy bill with a new ducted heating system – made possible
with rebates from EWEB – and got the confidence of a job well done thanks to the Quality Installation
program from ENERGY STAR®.
James Cupp proves that even the smallest change can make a big difference. James helped his mom
replace their home's incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) that use 75% less
energy and last 10 times longer.
Jennie Cupp encouraged her landlord to replace her windows with ENERGY STAR® qualified windows,
saving money on her electric bill, keeping her family warm and increasing her landlord's property value.
David Smith is a contractor who harnesses the power of the sun to reduce his carbon footprint
and save home buyers money. Using EWEB's rebate programs, David has built homes, including his own,
with energy costs as low as $350 per year.
David Smith is also a homeowner who uses insulation to keep the temperature in his house just right.
By taking advantage of EWEB's weatherization rebate program, David was able to shrink
his carbon footprint and his heating costs by as much as 20%.
Reyna Gaspar saved $3,500 with state and EWEB rebates on a new ductless heat pump, plus attic
and floor insulation. In six months, she's already saved $200 on her electric bill, and her
philodendron has gone from failing to flourishing since the switch.
