Uniondale, NY - April 6, 2018 - As we say goodbye to a cold and stormy March, spring is finally in the air. PSEG Long Island is reminding customers how to save energy and money this season by becoming more efficient.
Out with the old, in with the green
Warmer temperatures mean spring cleaning. This is the perfect opportunity to finally do something about the old, inefficient refrigerator or freezer sitting around the house or garage. PSEG Long Island will come to a home or office and pick up an old, working refrigerator or freezer for free and recycle it responsibly. Along with the energy savings customers receive by recycling their inefficient appliance, those participating in the recycling program will also receive a $50 reward. An additional bonus $35 voucher will be given if an old, working room air conditioner or dehumidifier is recycled at the same time as the refrigerator is picked up.
Swimming in savings
Pool season may not really start until Memorial Day, but now is the time for Long Islanders to ensure their pools will be ready. If customers find that they need to replace their pool pump, PSEG Long Island is here to help. The utility offers rebates of up to $350 on new ENERGY STAR® certified variable and two-speed pool pumps. A new ENERGY STAR certified model will use up to 70% less energy than a standard unit.
Cook out till the moon comes out
Long Island summers are all about backyard barbeques. You can prolong your grilling good times with some outdoor LED lighting that uses 75 percent less energy and will last 25 times longer than incandescent bulbs. PSEG Long Island offers discounts on LED lighting and ENERGY STAR appliances throughout the year at participating retailers. Additional products can also be purchased online through the PSEG Long Island Efficiency Marketplace. Visit http://www.energyfederation.org/psegliny for details.
Beat the heat now
Now is the time to make sure your home is equipped to handle those sweltering summer days and nights. If your room air conditioner or even central air conditioning system barely made it through last year, consider a new, more efficient system that uses approximately 15 percent less energy than conventional models. PSEG Long Island offers rebates of up to $450 on a central air conditioning system through its Cool Homes program. Rebates are also available for ducted air source heat pumps, geothermal heat pumps, and ductless mini split heating and cooling systems.
