The City of Marshall Introduces Efficiency Smart to Help Customers Save Energy and Money

Efficiency Smart is excited to announce the launch of enhanced energy efficiency services for City of Marshall electric customers. Efficiency Smart offers services and financial incentives to help residents and businesses reduce their electric use and save money.

”The City of Marshall is excited to partner with Efficiency Smart to offer our residents and businesses a user-friendly way to save money on their monthly electric bills and the opportunity to receive a rebate in the process,” said Christy Ramey, Assistant to the Electric Director for the City of Marshall.

Efficiency Smart’s residential services help homeowners and renters reduce their electricity use and make their homes more comfortable. This includes free programs that provide personalized energy efficiency guidance, as well as discounts and rebates on energy-efficient products.

For example, a City of Marshall residential electric customer could:

• Receive personalized no-cost tips, such as which direction to run their ceiling fan in the summer and winter to stay comfortable without adjusting the thermostat
• Reduce the cost of replacing an outdated appliance with a rebate
• Use a free online calculator to see how different appliances and systems in their home affect their electric bill
• Manage their electric use with a smart thermostat to save approximately $70 in annual electric costs

Business customers also have many ways to save energy and money. Efficiency Smart offers hands-on support, including technical assistance and financial incentives, to encourage the installation of energy-efficient technologies. Example projects include lighting, compressed air, and HVAC.

“We are excited for the opportunity to work with the City of Marshall,” said Sean Clement, Director of Efficiency Smart. “The city has shown a commitment to energy efficiency, which is a cost-effective way for utilities to reduce their customers’ electric bills, reduce power supply costs, and contribute to local economic development. We look forward to working together with Marshall to ensure a successful partnership.”
