More than 450 customers in the Eastover community are now eligible for free energy-saving products and services. Dominion Energy hosted a kickoff event last week in Eastover to inform residents of the Neighborhood Energy Efficiency Program (NEEP), which offers energy efficiency home assessments and other products and services to eligible customers.
Customers began receiving information on how to participate in December. Installations in homes will begin in January and will continue through the end of February. NEEP provides income-qualified customers with these services in communities in the company's service territory.
"Through this program, we provide tailor-made solutions to help customers improve their homes' energy efficiency," said Gerald Freeman, program manager of Dominion Energy South Carolina's Neighborhood Energy Efficiency Program. "Our representatives provide tips, education and free energy-saving products based on each customer's unique situation."
Energy-saving products available to program-eligible residential electric customers include the following:
- LED light bulbs
- Faucet aerators
- Low-flow shower heads
- Electric water heater wraps and insulation for water pipes
- Weatherstripping for doors and windows
- Advanced power strips
- Adjustment of electric water heater temperature
- Heating, ventilation and air conditioning filter replacement
Dominion Energy South Carolina started NEEP in 2013 to provide eligible residential electric customers with energy education and direct no-cost installation of energy-saving improvements.
Beyond NEEP, customers can take advantage of the energy-efficiency tips, rebates and incentives associated with all EnergyWise programs. During the past 12 years, Dominion Energy customers in South Carolina have reduced electricity usage by more than 1 billion kilowatt hours - that's enough energy to power approximately 92,000 homes for a year.
Dominion Energy offers a comprehensive portfolio of EnergyWise programs that work together to increase overall energy efficiency and reduce energy usage. For more information about these programs, visit dominionenergysc.com/EnergyWise or call toll-free at 877-510-7234.
