Ahoy, Bulb Rockers!
We’ve missed you! After a break last weekend, we are gearing up to once again Rock the Bulb, this time in Mount Vernon September 12-13, 10 AM – 4 PM each day. If you haven’t already, join us this weekend to turn in up to 10 incandescent bulbs in exchange for 10 CFL bulbs.
We now have more than 4,200 Be an Energy Rock Star Contest participants. Carilyn B. has been holding on to the lead for the last three weeks, and her point total is now 185 points. But watch out: William V. is hot on her heels with 180 points. With less than two months left in the contest, start catching up! Here are some ideas:
- Stop by an upcoming Rock the Bulb Tour stop to earn 50 points for exchanging up to ten bulbs, as well as an additional 50 for visiting all the stations and speaking with a PSE Home Energy Advisor. That’s 100 points in one stop!
- Been to an event already? Liked it? Come back and volunteer! It’s a fun and interactive way to get another 30 points towards the contest.
- Don’t forget to recruit your friends to sign up for the contest—each one that signs up scores YOU 5 points. That may not seem like a lot of points, don’t forget: but slow and steady wins the race.
Energy-Saving Tip of the Week: Summer is winding down, sadly, and for the Pacific Northwest, this usually means a straight shot into winter. This also means it’s a great time to check your air filter! A dirty air filter will slow down air flow and make your HVAC system work harder to keep you cool or warm, which wastes energy. Check it at least once a month during heavy-use seasons (summer and winter) and once every three months during light use.
For more energy-saving tips, check out PSE’s Energy Insider – in a couple weeks, you’ll be able to get contest points for using EI to set energy savings goals and tracking your energy use during October – this is the way to earn the big contest points, so get ready!
Rock the Bulb has distributed more than 247,000 energy-saving CFL bulbs to PSE residential electric customers so far! Installed, these bulbs represent over 57.1 million kWh of electricity saved, over $10.6 million saved on energy bills, and greenhouse gas emissions equal to taking over 5,200 cars off the road for a year.
Saving energy sure rocks.
