Central Georgia EMC Announces 2010 Rebate Program
Homeowners across America are looking for ways to reduce their monthly utility bill. The best way to lower your energy consumption is to improve the efficiency of your home. Energyefficient choices can save families about a third on their energy bill. If looking for new household products, or to make small household improvements, look for the Energy Star. These products meet strict energy-efficiency guidelines set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Department
of Energy.
CGEMC offers a variety of programs to help you save even more when buying Energy Star products.
Existing Home Rebates
Energy-efficient Programmable Thermostat Rebate
CGEMC offers a 50 percent rebate (up to $25 per thermostat,
maximum two per home) on the cost of a programmable thermostat.
Energy Star-recommend Attic Insulation Upgrade Rebate
CGEMC offers a 50 percent rebate (up to $200 maximum per

CGEMC offers a $30 rebate to have a preseason tuneup performed on a residential central air conditioner in the spring
