The Centsable Way
You like your home, your neighborhood and the people who live around you.
True, you probably wouldn't mind living in a newer, energy-efficient home.
But you're comfortable where you are.
Now get even more comfortable.
Central Power and Light has developed a program that can make your
present house more energy efficient It's called the Centsable Home Program.
What they'll do is run a Free Centsable survey on your house and then
analyze the data. Then, they'll give you specific recommendations on how to
lower your energy bills.
The recommendations involve steps like adding more attic insulation,
caulking around windows and doors and putting an insulated blanket around your
water heater And installing a new properly sized central heat pump or air
conditioner will qualify you for a Centsable Home Certificate from CPL
You can either call a contractor or do the work yourself. Either way, you II get
a lower energy bill every month. And a more comfortable home.
If you're interested in the Centsable Home Program,
give CPL a call. And get Centsable about
your home energy use.
