Energy Programs

Federal and State agencies along with utility companies offer incentives for consumers, businesses, and builders to purchase energy-efficient products or simply lower energy consumption. To learn might be available in your state review the following links:

• Energy Star Website
• Federal Energy Management Program, FEMP
• Incentive Programs (pdf)

For an immediate payback, some state energy agencies and utilities provide incentives with rebates or credits for lowered energy consumption. Check with your local utility company or go to the ENERGY STAR website, energystar.gov, and click on "Who's Working with ENERGY STAR" for a listing of ENERGY STAR partners.

Fluorescent lamps contain mercury. Be sure to properly dispose of your used
