Why install a high-efficiency refrigerator or freezer and then put the old working energy hog in the garage for a beverage cooler?  Why not recycle with a reputable dealer and receive a rebate?  PPCS also offers a rebate for recycling an old working window air conditioner.

Uncomfortable in your home?  High heating/cooling costs?  Consider scheduling a home performance test.  This blower door/infrared test determines heat loss in your home.  Based on your test results, rebates and incentives for energy efficiency improvements are available through PPCS' Electric$ense and our partnership with Focus on Energy.

Managed water heating requires a water heater capacity of at least 50 gallons.  Water heating is interrupted to a maximum of six hours a day (based on your water heater capacity) during high electrical demand or system emergencies.

Rebates may apply if the unit is 75 gallons or larger and is connected to PPCS' load management system.  General service rates apply.  The water heater can be purchased from PPCS or any vendor.

Help extend the life of your water heater by installing a WaterRight water softening system.

PPCS' off-peak electric water heating program gives you a reduced electric rate if you also use some form of off-peak storage or dual-fuel electric heat (5-kilowatt minimum).  The water heater is metered separately to receive the low off-peak electric rate.

Rebates may apply if the unit is 75 gallons or larger and is connected to PPCS' load management system.  Off-peak electric rates are available with this program.  The water heater can be purchased from PPCS or any vendor that meets the energy efficiency requirements.

Water quality can affect the performance and useful life of your household appliances. Hard water scale can build up in your water heater, dishwasher, washing machine and even your plumbing pipes, costing you money because of unwanted service calls and replacement parts. You might even need to buy a completely new appliance.

Water-Right® systems from PPCS can bring your water quality to a new level and save you money. The first step in selecting a system that is right for you is to test your water, and we’ll do it for free. Contact us today for your FREE water test!
