Saving
Energy at Home
We offer a variety of programs to help you reduce
your electric bill in your home. If you have an electric heating
system–call and we’ll check our files to see if we’ve done
an energy audit on your home. If we have an audit, we can mail you
a copy. If not, we will schedule a free detailed audit and tell
you what can be done to save you energy and money. Through our
WeatherWise Program you are eligible for a payment from Salem
Electric for 50% of the cost of insulating your home and
incentives to replace your windows. There is also a 5% interest
loan to cover the balance. (NOTE: If you meet the income
guidelines we will insulate your home at no cost to you.) If you
have an electric water heater–call for a free water heater wrap,
installed at no charge. We recommend wrapping your water heater
whether it’s in a heated or unheated space. Plus, we’ll
install a free water conservation package, including showerheads
and faucet aerators. We also offer rebates for qualifying energy
efficient appliances; heat pump loans and rebates; and high
efficiency lighting products (available at our office). There are
a number of brochures available at our office, on topics ranging
from deregulation of the utility industry to home electrical
safety. Contact our Member Services Department at 503.362.3601 and
start saving right away.
