Customers still have time to get two free CFLs and save energy
Gulf Power is extending its giveaway of two compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) through Dec. 15. The giveaway originally ran during the month of October in recognition of Energy Awareness Month. Because of great response from customers Gulf Power will continue to offer customers two free CFLs when they complete a free online Energy Checkup for their home through Dec. 15.
Energy Checkup is a free evaluation of how energy is used in the home and is one of Gulf Power’s EarthCents programs designed to help customers find low-cost and no-cost ways to reduce energy usage.
To participate, customers can visit www.gulfpower.com to perform the check-up. Customers will receive specific recommendations about energy efficiency, home improvements and steps to improve energy efficiency that can help them cut electricity bills.
After completing the online energy inspection, customers have the opportunity to register to receive two free CFLs.
CFL bulbs use 75 percent less energy than standard incandescent bulbs and last as much as 10 times longer. If every American home replaced just one light bulb with a CFL bulb, it would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000 cars.
Customers without Internet access can pick up a mail-in survey at any Gulf Power payment office or request a mail-in survey by calling 1-877-655-4001 and will also be eligible for the free bulbs.
