Energy Saving Programs and Incentives
There are many ways to save energy by reducing your use of energy-intensive devices, using energy more efficiently, or producing it yourself. The prices of many efficient appliances and technologies are dropping, and multiple incentives, rebates, and assistance programs are available. Energy efficiency saves money, contributes to carbon-reduction goals in the City’s Climate Action Plan, and will help the Bellingham Energy Prize win a national competition.

Local community or utility programs provide a comprehensive look at your home’s energy use and recommendations on savings measures and reliable contractors. You can also sign up at the Bellingham Energy Prize’s Energy Center to track your energy use and get tips and rebate information.
