Stay cool this summer and get a PECO rebate

If you see this sticker on a room air conditioner, that means it’s ENERGY STAR® qualified and eligible for a $50 PECO rebate. ENERGY STAR qualified room air conditioners use about 15 percent less energy than conventional models, which could mean an average savings of about $85 over the lifetime of the unit.* Room air conditioners (includes stand-alone and window units) often include timers for better temperature control, allowing you to use the minimum amount of energy you need to cool your room.

Energy and Money-Saving Tips• Turn off all unnecessary lighting and devices.• Keep thermostats at a constant, comfortable

level. Install a programmable thermostat.• Closing blinds and curtains, which act as a layer of

insulation, can reduce heat gain to your home.• For those without air conditioning, use ceiling

fans or portable fans operating with the windows partially open to circulate fresh air into your home.

• Run appliances that produce heat (clothes dryers, ovens and dishwashers) at night when it’s cooler.

Summer is just around the corner, and PECO is ready
