Ways To Save Big

Having the right amount of insulation and sealing air leaks is important. After all, approximately 50 percent of your electric bill is attributed to heating and cooling your home. With leaks and insufficient insulation, you can expect those costs to be even higher. While you might be ready to do something to improve these items, cost might stand in the way.

In having work completed by a Community Action program, you could be eligible for a rebate from South River EMC. In order to qualify for the rebate the entire package must be completed.
