About Me

My Photo
A homeschooling mother of one teenager and a little. In 2001, I resigned from my 13 year position as a case manager to homeschool my oldest who was a preschooler at the time, and later a daughter who came along in 2005. This is by far the hardest job I've ever loved. My husband of nearly 20 years supports us as a fire fighter and EMT.

Check Utilities for Discounts and Rebates


Recently, I checked all our utility websites for discounts. I found a few good deals like rebates for an October heating tune-up, free programmable thermostat, free rain barrel(make and take workshop), rebates on energy star water and HVAC units, $40.00 back on enrollment in energy saving program, discounted light bulbs, and a free energy audit. They also had some free .pdf printables and facility tours for children. Some years offer better discounts than others. It's worth checking out.

Thanks for posting. Here in New York you can also get a heating discount when you have a large family and low income. We always qualify for that.

There are so few discounts these days; it is nice to find some offered by utilities! As soon as our water heater dies we'll be getting an instant hot water unit, like they have in Europe.

Thanks for posting this! I had no idea how many rebates were available! We're looking into getting an irrigation system and the rebates can save us close to $1,000!

Have a great weekend.
