I just submitted a letter to the editor to let folks know about a terrific program we just learned about to help Hermosa Beach residents tune up the energy usage in their homes – with up to $500 in supplies and improvements – for FREE. We’re scheduled to get ours next weekend and I’ve spoken to several residents who were extremely pleased with the service. Call Maria Ortega, Hermosa’s direct contact at 800-447-7611.
Green Savings I recently learned that Hermosa Beach residents are currently eligible to participate in a FREE in home energy tune-up program through a collaboration of The Community Energy Partnership, Southern California Edison and Southern California Gas Company.
The Energy Coalition trains contractors to go into homes to provide a 3-step process: Assess, Tune-up, and Flag further savings. Working by appointment, contractors replace or make modifications to lighting, plumbing, home appliances, doors and windows. Residents experience immediate improvements in comfort and start saving on utility bills. While not everything applies to each home, contractors aim to provide residents with up to $200 in direct services, to generate $500 of consumer benefit. Direct services may include installing compact florescent light bulbs (CFLs); checking water heaters for safety earthquake strapping or to furnish wraps and pipe insulation; and equipping plumbing fixtures with faucet aerators and low flow showerheads.
These direct services of material and labor are then calculated to estimate kWh & thermal savings for the household. This is a great environmental opportunity, which I’ve scheduled for my own home and wanted to share with other Hermosa residents.
Empower Hermosa and call our contact Maria Ortega at 800-447-7611. Save energy, reduce your carbon footprint, pay nothing. It’s a WIN WIN! WIN! Sincerely,
Michael DiVirgilio
