Summary:
Efficiency Maine's Residential Lighting Program works directly with retailers and manufacturers to encourage residential customers to purchase energy-efficient lighting. Rebate amounts average $1.25/bulb and are available at the point of sale at participating retailers. Participating retailers will deduct the rebate amount at the cash register. (See the program web site for a list of participating retailers and additional information.)
In addition, in partnership with Maine Libraries, Efficiency Maine has made Kill A Watt® monitors available for Maine residents to borrow. The monitors plug into electrical outlets and then a consumer plugs an appliance into the monitor to find out how much electricity the appliance uses. |
