“Water heating is the third highest user of energy in the home, behind heating and cooling costs,” said Director of Operations Tom Tatham. “Our free energy savings kit will help our customer save on both water heating and lighting costs. Switching to CFL or LED bulbs is one of the simplest ways to save energy in your home.”

The Energy Savings Kit is part of DP&L’s ongoing Energy Efficiency programs for customers that provide discounts for energy efficient light bulbs at participating local retailers and rebates for installing higher efficiency heating and air conditioning systems.
