Seriously, we love Xcel energy right now. A few weeks ago, a nice young man stopped by our door to see if we were interested in partaking in having their Energy Squad come by our house to make our home a bit more energy efficient. Normally, I am one to say "No thanks!" and shut the door in their faces before they can even finish trying to sell me anything, but I was feeling nice, so I let the guy tell me about it (it was also 90 degrees out with 80-something % humidity, so I felt a little bad for him). Turns out, it was a good thing I didn't pretend to not be home, because it ended up being a great deal for us!
For $50, we were able to have the Home Energy Squad come in and have them install the following:
- Weatherstipping on our attic crawlspace door
- Faucet aerators in both bathrooms and our kitchen
- A water-saving showerhead in the basement
- 8 decorative CFL lights in our kitchen/dining room
They also rated several appliances in our house, and let us know what the recommended rating was. What I really liked about the whole thing was that they were no-pressure people. They basically just said, "Here's what you got. Here's what we recommend it be at. Here's where you can find information to upgrade it if you like."
Since it was such a great deal, I want to give everyone else the opportunity to benefit from Xcel as we did. If you want to schedule a visit with the Home Energy Squad, you can call them at:
