Wallingford Electric Division
The Electric Division of the Wallingford Department of Public Utilities offers these programs and suggestions to help you
reduce your electric costs.
RESIDENTIAL
The Electric Division provides:
- Reduced prices to help you switch from incandescent to compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs). Pricing at various Wallingford retail locations is subsidized through a program offered by the Connecticut Municipal Electric Energy Cooperative, with whom the Electric Division participates..
- Rebates of up to $60 are available on the purchase of Energy Star qualified appliances and water heaters. Rebate forms are available by printing a copy of the Appliance Rebate Form. Forms are also available at the Wallingford Electric Division business office and at Wallingford appliance dealers, although the purchase may be made elsewhere.
- Watch for future CFL and home energy efficiency offers from the Electric Division.
Your efforts also help:
- Lower thermostats in winter to 68 degrees. Set thermostats at 78 degrees in summer and leave fan on “auto.”
- Adjust thermostats at night and when away from home.
- Repair air leaks in walls, windows, ductwork, and insulation.
- Use Energy Star appliances that are more efficient and use less energy.
- Run dishwashers only when full (and don’t pre-wash dishes); use “air-dry” feature.
- Run clothes washers at correct water level for the amount of clothes. Use cold or warm water instead of hot water.
- Lower water heater temperature.
- Turn off or dispose of unused extra refrigerators.
- Use ceiling fans instead of air conditioning equipment.
