Act On Energy

If you are looking for more ways to save on your bills, then the first place to look might be the source. Ameren has developed an energy efficiency program called Act On Energy. The website is outlined with solutions for your home or business, and a guide to energy efficient shopping.

They have a place to order compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL’s) at a discount, which can help you save even more on lighting. Compared to a traditional incandescent bulb, these energy efficient bulbs use less electricity to produce the same amount of light. This will lower your bills while without leaving you in the dark.

The website also outlines the many other programs that will begin in the spring, summer, and fall of 2009. A popular program is a refrigerator recycling initiative that gives you a chance to have Ameren come to your home and haul away a second refrigerator that you might have in your garage. Often times these refrigerators are old and inefficient. For an incentive, Ameren will even pay you $35 for participating.

Act On Energy is a very extensive energy saving initiative. Utilities across the country have begun to put more and more programs in place to help their customers save on their bills and reduce system-wide demand. Ameren has done a great job of looking at what other utilities have done and determined which programs would be the most successful for their customers. Some of the options will be quite popular so it will be important to do the research now before they begin. We will surely give you an update on everything you will need to do as each program gets underway.

For the time being go to www.actonenergy.net and take advantage of their discounted CFL’s and search through the site to check out the new money saving opportunities that will soon be coming your way.
