Save energy and money in your home
As part of our Energy Efficiency Showcase, a ComEd public education initiative, we performed an energy efficiency makeover on the homes of 12 of our customers. The homes vary in style, size, and age. At each home, energy-saving opportunities were identified, implemented, and documented. Watch the improvements in action, and learn how you can apply some of these practices in your home.
