MARBLEHEAD LIGHT DEPARTMENT'S
Residential Conservation Service

ENERGY EFFICIENCY REBATE PROGRAM

Are you thinking about purchasing a new appliance?

Replacing a thermostat in your home?

Or want to add insulation to your attic or walls?

In an effort to encourage energy efficiency in Town, the Light Department is offering rebates to residential customers who purchase energy efficient appliances, which tend to cost more than their less energy efficient counterparts. In addition, rebates are available for those customers who wish to improve the insulation in their own home, or purchase a programmable setback thermostat.

Energy efficient appliances typically save 15-50% in energy costs, and can help reduce the need for additional generation during peak times.

Please see guidelines below for qualified products, rebates, and potential savings.

If you would like more information about the program please call Bob Dane, Energy Services Coordinator, at 781 631-0240.

Funds are limited, find out about rebates right away!

You must have an active account with the Marblehead Light Department.

Appliances must be installed at account location.
