Rocky Mountain Power and Local Retailers Offer Specially Priced CFLs
September 01, 2010
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Sept. 1, 2010 – Just in time for the shorter fall and winter daylight hours, the Rocky Mountain Power Home Energy Savings Program and local Utah retailers are teaming up to offer compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) at discounted prices. Discounts will apply to nine types of bulbs in varying shapes, sizes and wattages for as low as 99 cents per bulb and markdown incentives of up to $3.50. Visit rockymountainpower.net/utcfls for a complete list of retail store locations.
Replacing incandescent bulbs with CFLs is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to cut energy bills and promote a healthier environment. CFLs use up to 75 percent less energy than conventional bulbs. As a result, a homeowner could save as much as $30 over the lifetime of each bulb and significantly avoid harmful carbon dioxide emissions. CFLs also last 10 times longer on average than conventional bulbs.
Thousands of Utah residents have already traded in their incandescent bulbs for CFLs. The number of bulbs replaced by the Home Energy Savings program in 2009 saved enough energy to power more than 2,400 homes for one year and avoided carbon dioxide emissions equal to removing more than 11,000 cars from the road for one year.
The Rocky Mountain Power Home Energy Savings Program offers cash incentives on a full suite of energy-saving home products and services. It’s one of many wattsmart programs available to help Utah customers save energy and money. Visit rockymountainpower.net/hes for complete program information.
