Cape Light Compact launched a Chill Your Bill Campaign aimed at assisting consumers to cut costs and Chill Your Bill picturestay warm as energy bills increase this winter. We worked with our Governing Board Members and the local energy committees to provide information on ways that can help you save on your energy bills. Cape Light Compact has made several presentations to energy committees and other groups across the Cape & Vineyard. A schedule of upcoming presentations is at the bottom of the page.

The Compact has many ways to help you start saving now on your heating and electric bills.

Some quick actions that residential consumers can take are:

  • Recycle a 2nd working refrigerator or freezer, and receive a $50 rebate! Visit www.masssave.com/recycle to schedule your free pickup or for more information.
  • Use a chimney balloon to help eliminate drafts ($35 mail-in rebate available). Watch this video on how to install a chimney balloon.
  • Close chimney damper if fireplace is not in use. Watch this video on how to open and close your chimney damper.
  • Weatherstrip doors to help eliminate air leaks.
  • Consider upgrading to high efficiency appliances. Visit our Residential Rebate page to see what rebates are available.
  • Get your heating system inspected to make sure that it is working properly.
  • If you have leaky windows, purchase a window sealant kit to help eliminate drafts.
