Join Our Money and Energy Saving Program!
More than 3,000 of your neighbors are already saving money and conserving energy by earning electric credits on their monthly utility bill. It's a free and voluntary program that allows us to place a small switch on either your air conditioner, electric water heater or electric heat strips. The switch is activated during the few times that we experience a high demand for power. This brief interruption reduces your power usage, which lowers your bill, and you receive credits on your bill for participating in the program.
Savings are up to $60 a year for electric water heaters, $48 for heat pump/heat strips and $24 a year with your air conditioner compressor. Call us at 919-553-1530 to sign up today!
All new residential construction has the switches installed.
Free Energy Audits
The Town of Clayton offers a free home energy audit to customers who want to learn how to save money. Some of the greatest effects on energy usage are customer behavior, climate, and age of the home. We'll check out the efficiency, physical condition, and programming of mechanical systems in your home such as heating, ventilation, air conditioners and thermostats, as well as review past utility bills. To schedule a free energy audit, call our Utilities and Billing Department at 919-553-5002.
