PSNC Money-Saving Tips

SLIDE 19

Specific Ways to Save Money

Energy Tips  EnergyWise home program: Allows Progress to turn off your air conditioning for up to 2 hours during peak hours  Turn in your old refrigerator

r freezer (free pick-up)

Savings $25/year (Progress Energy rebate) $50/year (Progress Energy rebate)

SLIDE 20

Specific Ways to Save Money

Energy Tips  Turn the temperature in your house up 2oF in the summer down 2oF in the winter  Lower (winter), raise (summer) thermostat setting every time you leave the house Estimated Savings $90/year $150/year

SLIDE 21

Specific Ways to Save Money

Energy Tips  Turn your ceiling fans on when in room, off when not in room

Summer = counter-clockwise

looking up

Winter = clockwise looking up

 Set your water heater temperature at 120oF instead of 140oF Estimated Savings $75/year $ 40/year

SLIDE 22

Specific Ways to Save Money

Energy Tip  Replace incandescent light bulbs with CFLs or LEDs  Passive solar energy savings: Use curtains, shades to block the sun in the summer, open up wide during the day in the winter Estimated Savings $60/year $75/year

SLIDE 23

Specific Ways to Save Money

Savings tips  Wash your clothes with cold

water. Modern detergents

work equally well in warm and cold water  Turn off your dishwasher after the wash cycle and let dishes air-dry Estimated Savings $40/year (front-loader) $100/year (top-loader) $10/year

SLIDE 24

Specific Ways to Save Money

Saving Tips  Make use of Progress Energy “Home Energy Improvement Program” rebates Examples: Rebates on

Air duct testing
Attic insulation upgrades
Energy-efficient windows

Savings $60 - $450

SLIDE 25

Energy Audit recommendations:

Seal all duct connections in the crawl space. Seal duct boots to the floor. Seal inside return vent.  Air seal all crawl space plumbing and electrical penetrations in the crawl space.  Weather-strip front door and door off guest door. Caulk bath fans to the drywall.  Replace missing crawl space insulation and insulate duct boot.

Solar Electricity Production Experience

We produced 6880 kWh in the first year
We sold this electricity for $1442*
We used 6250 kWh in the first year
We paid $666 in electricity usage
So we earned $1442 - $666 = $776 in this first year
Our investment after tax rebates was $10,500
Panels are guaranteed for 25 years
Our annual cost is $10,500/25 = $420
So we netted $778 - $420 = $358
We will earn back the initial investment in about 8 years
Hence ROI is (1442-420) / 10,500 = 9.7%

* Progress Energy paid $458 – $48 charges, NC GreenPower paid $1032
