Replace your old, inefficient hot water heater with an Energy Star® Heat Pump Water Heater (HPWH) and earn a bill credit of $100! But hurry, this hot deal ends December 31, 2015*. A household of four can save approximately $330 a year on its electric bills compared to a standard electric water heater and over $3,500 over the HPWH's lifetime. According to the EPA, if all residential electric water heaters less than 55 gallons sold in the United States were Energy Star certified, the energy cost savings would grow to $8.2 billion each year and 98 billion pounds of annual greenhouse gas emissions would be prevented! Attention PWC Water Customers faypwc.com Pouring grease, oil or fat down the drain? OUCH! It can block our sewer lines, causing wastewater to back up. And that can hurt our drinking water at its source. It can harm the environment and your property, too. Wastewater overflow is costly to clean up, which could also hurt our committed efforts to keep your rates down. That's why at PWC, we urge you to pour grease, oil or fat into a disposable container. Not down the drain. Grease... It's a Pain in the Drain. Coming Soon: LED Incentive Program How Do I Qualify • Must be a current PWC electric residential customer & own the home in which the new heat pump is installed • The unit must be Energy Star qualified, 2.0 EF or greater, & installed by a licensed plumber • Purchase & installation must be on or after September 1, 2015 • Submit program application & all required documentation to PWC. • Agree to a post-purchase audit by a PWC Energy Services Auditor Check out PWC's website for complete program details, or call the Customer Programs Call Center at 910-223-4600.
