‘That’s amazing!’ Shocked electrical engineer wins CUB Energy Saver prize
That’s why the 74-year-old Downers Grove resident joined CUB Energy Saver, which helps consumers create personalized plans to cut their power bills.
In July, Haldeman’s name was picked as CUB Energy Saver’s quarterly winner for a month of free electricity.
“That’s amazing!” he said.
All consumers who sign up with CUB Energy Saver are automatically entered in monthly drawings for 50 Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs (CFLs), and quarterly drawings for a month of free power.
“I agreed with everything I read on the website,” said Haldeman, who’s been a CUB member for years. “We’re pretty conservative with our energy.”
And he’ll need all the energy he can get—Haldeman plans on spending his $74 in winnings to do something fun with his 9 grandchildren.
