Energy Conservation

 

Springfield-Eugene utility customers may be eligible for

 Rebates, 0% APR Loans, Grants, or Tax Credit 

by incorporating energy conservation into your financial plan

Ductless heat pumps are electric powered and cheaper to install and operate than any other heating system. Easy to maintain, provide bill savings, and improve air quality.

 By switching to a heat pump water heater you could potentially reduce energy waste and hot water cost substantially.

By installing insulation, you can keep your home comfortable and reduce energy waste throughout the year. This can provide up to 10% savings on your annual heating bills*
