Program will pay up to $3000 of home energy efficiency improvement costs

Energize Phoenix is hosting “It’s Easy With Energize Phoenix”, a community energy efficiency fair and contractor exhibit at the Burton Barr Central Library from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, March 24, 2012.

The event is open to the public and will offer the opportunity for eligible homeowners to sign up for a free home energy check-up and receive up to $3,000 in rebates to pay for their home energy efficiency improvement costs. In many cases, this will pay for 100 percent of the energy efficiency project costs. Eligible homeowners must sign up with an Energize Phoenix approved contractor on the day of the event to qualify for the offer. Typical project costs to date range from $600 to $5,000 and include:

In addition, attendees who ride the light rail and show ticket fare will receive a free CFL bulb (limited supply available).

Energize Phoenix offers cash incentives and financing to help pay for energy saving projects for homes and businesses located within the Energize Phoenix Corridor, a 10-mile stretch along the light rail line.
