Project Porchlight

PROJECT PORCHLIGHT
November 9 - 30, 2022

 

Neighbors, we are excited to be the first neighborhood in the County to participate in a new initiative to help people spend less money on their utility bills. Lighting accounts for around 12% of an average home's electricity use by switching to LEDs, you can save about $225 in energy costs per year. Project Porchlight was created as part of Montgomery Energy Connection, a program of Montgomery County. The porch is often the entryway into your home, the first point of contact for you to start using less energy. The trained Energy Ambassadors will be going door to door between November 9-30th to swap old incandescent and compact fluorescent (CFL) light bulbs to LEDs. They will install the new light bulbs during the day between 10:00 am - 2:00 pm in the afternoon. If you are not home, they will leave you information to make the switch.  Also, if you have any CFL bulbs in your home that you would like to recycle right, they would be happy to take those from you.
