Power Company Looking to Help

Being a college student can be very challenging in many ways. Not only is there the pressure of schoolwork, but as a student you must worry about finances. Many students struggle to make ends meet, and are always looking for ways to save money. One way that any student who pays a power bill can save money is by being conservative with how they run their house or apartment. There are many ways to do this and Potomac Edison (aka Allegany Power) is willing to help people make smarter decisions that will result in them getting better energy performance.

All you need to do is go to Potomac Edison’s website and take their Online Energy Analyzer in the Home Performance Program, and they will in turn give you suggestions to make your home more energy efficient. You do not have to be a customer of Potomac Edison to use this resource, as this company simply seems to be looking to help customers and non-customers alike in saving energy and money.

My apartment-mate completed the Analyzer and not only was rewarded with useful tips to become more efficient, but also was given six free compact fluorescent light bulbs. These bulbs use about 75% less energy than your standard light bulb, and also last up to ten times longer. So, in addition to useful tips you can also receive a product for free that will save a little more money.

By using this useful service provided by Potomac Edison a student can not only help themselves, but contribute to the “going green” movement by being more energy efficient.
