Winter is near, and colder weather often means more energy use and higher bills. We want to help, and we’re happy to offer rebates for most of the ENERGY STAR® Home Upgrade series of improvements. These are designed to maximize your energy and cost savings with energy-efficient appliances and products.
Insulation
We’re offering rebates of up to $200 for air sealing and up to $500 for attic insulation; and doing multiple projects like these will put you on the path to a potential $350 retrofit bonus. Plus, you could qualify for tax credits.
If your home is leaking air, you may be leaking money on your energy bill. Ensuring your attic is well-sealed and properly insulated is one of the most important things you can do to reduce air leaks, save on your electricity bill, and improve comfort.
Low insulation levels and air leaks make your heating and cooling systems work harder and use more energy. If the insulation is below the level of the floor joists in your attic, you probably need to add more.
Tackle air sealing and attic insulation projects now to reduce your energy costs before it gets colder. Learn more about our insulation rebates here.

Smart Thermostats
We’re offering a $100 rebate if you install a smart thermostat. Plus, you could qualify for tax credits.
Half of an average American household’s energy bill goes toward heating and cooling—more than $900 a year. Let a smart thermostat help you control your home’s temperature—you could save money and stay comfortable! Smart thermostats ensure your home is at the right temperature when you’re there and conserving energy when you’re not.
The smart thermostat is an important part of an ENERGY STAR Home Upgrade because it controls equipment that uses significant energy for heating and cooling.

Water Heaters
We’re offering a $400 rebate if you upgrade to a super-efficient water heater. Plus, you could qualify for tax credits.
Your water heater is the second-highest energy user in your home, drawing more than your refrigerator, clothes washer, dishwasher, and dryer combined. Water heaters use 20% of a home’s energy.
A heat pump water heater with the ENERGY STAR label is up to four times more efficient and uses 70% less energy than a standard model. Upgrading can help you prepare for a clean energy future, while also saving you hundreds of dollars every year in energy costs.

Heating and Cooling
We’re offering rebates of up to $450 to upgrade your heat pump. The savings are even bigger if you qualify for these tax credits.
Heat pumps can save you money. They are more efficient than both furnaces and boilers and, despite their name, serve double duty by providing heating and cooling. A new heat pump is an investment that delivers benefits year-round.
You can choose a heat pump that will use your home’s existing ductwork to deliver heating or a ductless pump for more targeted results.

What kid wouldn’t want to experiment with static electricity, try their hands at growing vegetables, learn to code, don some electrical lineworker equipment, participate in a program on reptiles, and generally flex their brain in new and exciting ways?
These are just a few examples of the types of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education programs, activities, and events that we’ve supported over the past year.
Check out this video that showcases some of these experiences—from the Mifflinburg Science Festival in Union County to the Summer Reading Program at the Whitehall Township Public Library in Lehigh County, and communities in between.
In our ever-changing, increasingly complex, and technology-driven world, we know that it’s more important than ever to engage students in STEM disciplines from an early age. It helps develop critical-thinking and problem-solving skills to prepare them for their future lives and careers. That’s one of the reasons we continue to support efforts like the PPL Foundation’s Cover to Cover program and Empowering Educators grants, as well as science festivals, library programs, and other learning opportunities throughout our communities.
After all, today’s student could be tomorrow’s electrical engineer.
