October: Energy Efficiency
This month we focus on making your home more energy efficient. From preventing drafts, swapping out lightbulbs and doing laundry outside of peak usage times, these are just some of the ways you can save money.
On Oct. 22, a representative from PSEG-LI will be here with information about home energy assessments, appliance rebates and more. And on Oct. 29, a volunteer from Rewiring America will discuss the benefits of going fully electric in your home by replacing systems that use gas and fossil fuels.
Children and their families can learn about wind power this month if they drop by our “Blowing in the Wind” program from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on Mon., Oct. 13. Discover what wind can do and color a pinwheel. At 2 p.m. on Oct. 13, kids can learn about electric safety using a miniature model of a neighborhood.
Teens can help spread the word about the importance of energy efficiency (and earn community service) by coloring bookmarks for other patrons to enjoy.
For more, PSEG-Long Island has a useful website with safety tips, storm safety advice and savings for your home and business (https://www.psegliny.com). Rewiring America has a good website too, at https://www.rewiringamerica.org.
