ComEd asks do you want to get
rid of an old fridge or freezer? If you’ve got an older, working second refrigerator
or freezer keeping your soft drinks or ice cream cold – it’s probably costing you more money than you think.
ENERGY STAR qualified refrigerators use at least 20 percent less energy than required by current federal standards
and 40 percent less energy than the conventional models sold in 2001. So that old fridge could be costing you more than a
$150 per year!
With ComEd’s Smart Ideas for Your Home Program
you can get a $25 cash incentive to turn in your working second refrigerator of freezer. ComEd is working
with JACO Environmental, to pick up your refrigerator or freezer for free and recycle it in an environmentally
responsible way.
You can learn more about turning in your working
second refrigerator or freezer by visiting www.comed.com or calling (888) 806-2273.
Take Control of
your electricity costs with ComEd’s Residential Real-Time Pricing program
With this program, the price you pay for electricity changes by the hour, based on wholesale market prices.
By sticking to lower-priced hours for your electric use, you can potentially realize a real savings on your electric
bill. *
Controlling and shifting use of energy-hungry appliances (e.g. laundry machines, dishwashers, air conditioners) to
lower priced hours, such as nights or weekends, helps reduce electricity demand, so less electricity has to be generated –
electricity that might come from fossil-fuel burning electricity generation plants. And that helps
to reduce emissions that contribute to global warming.
* Individual savings are not
guaranteed and bills will vary month to month based on weather, market conditions, and usage habits
