The ComEd Energy Efficiency Program provides energy-saving offerings specially designed for income eligible customers to easily improve home and building energy efficiency.
Some offerings allow customers to take control of their own energy costs at home while others are designed for property owners, managers and developers. Either way, eligible customers can reduce energy use and start saving.
Homeowners may qualify to receive free weatherization improvements and free installation of ENERGY STAR® certified LEDs, programmable thermostats, advanced power strips, faucet aerators, showerheads, pipe insulation and more.
