CUB To Give Wheaton Consumers
CHICAGO, June 11, 2009—The Citizens Utility Board (CUB) will kick off its summer energy series, “Beyond CFLs,” in Wheaton, providing consumers with the latest tips to make their homes more energy efficient, including how to schedule a home energy audit, get new rebates for energy-efficient appliances, and take advantage of financial incentives for wind, solar, and other renewable energy investments.
Energy Efficiency Tips, Speak About Renewable Energy Incentives And Rebates “Energy efficiency is a great uncaptured resource,” CUB Outreach Director Sarah Moskowitz said. “By taking a few simple steps, consumers can not only lower their monthly energy costs, but they can also help lower energy prices overall.” Attendees will hear about the latest clean-energy developments in Illinois and changes in the electric and natural gas industries that could have a dramatic impact on consumers’ bills. The event is:
7 p.m., Wednesday, June 24
Attendees will also receive a free, money-saving Compact Fluorescent Light bulb (CFL).
