Columbia Gas Announces New Energy Efficiency Programs to Help Customers Save Energy and Money

CANONSBURG, Pa. – Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania customers looking for solutions to improve their home’s energy efficiency and to reduce their overall energy costs can take advantage of two new energy-saving programs offered by the company. These initiatives are designed to work in tandem with the existing WarmWise energy efficiency programs for our income-eligible customers.

 

“Using energy more efficiently isn’t just the right thing to do—it can also save our customers money while keeping them warm and safe at home,” said Christine Rausch, Columbia Gas Energy Efficiency Services Manager. “Our new programs will help ensure all Columbia Gas customers have access to affordable energy year-round.”

 

The Online Energy Audit & Kit Program offers residential customers an opportunity to learn more about how their home uses energy. Customers receive personalized recommendations for saving money and reducing their energy usage. Once customers complete the audit, qualifying customers have the opportunity to receive a free energy efficiency kit which will help them start their savings journey.

 

The Energy Efficiency Rebates Program offers Columbia Gas residential customers the opportunity to apply for rebates to help offset the cost of higher efficiency ENERGY STAR® certified equipment, which helps customers save money and energy when replacing older, less efficient equipment. Rebate amounts include up to $100 off an ENERGY STAR certified smart thermostat, $400 off an ENERGY STAR certified natural gas tankless water heater, up to $1200 off an ENERGY STAR certified natural gas boiler, and $400 off an ENERGY STAR certified natural gas furnace.

 

Customers are encouraged to visit www.columbiagaspa.com/warmwise to learn more about these programs and access energy saving tips.

 

Columbia Gas also offers additional WarmWise programs including the Low-Income Usage Reduction Program (LIURP) and the Audits & Rebates program, which are available to customers who meet certain income-eligibility guidelines.
