Village of Churchville offers
energy saving appliance program

The Village of Churchville, in conjunction with the Independent Energy Efficiency Program, Inc. (IEEP), will offer a new ENERGY STAR® appliance program called The Churchville Appliance Advantage. This program's goal is to encourage Churchville residential electric customers to upgrade their appliances to ENERGY STAR® labeled models. With the purchase and installation of an ENERGY STAR® labeled home appliance, Churchville electric customers can receive incentives of up to $125 per appliance. ENERGY STAR® appliances purchased after June 1, 2005 are eligible for the rebate program. There is a maximum incentive of $1,000 per customer for this program.

The Village of Churchville has been offering energy efficiency programs to their customers since the mid 1990s. Mayor Donald Ehrmentraut said "We assist our customers by offering energy efficient products like ENERGY STAR® labeled appliances, which in turn has a positive effect on the environment, reduces our customer's electric costs, and our peak electric load."

ENERGY STAR® labeled products use state of the art technology and require less money and less energy to operate, while still offering superior performance. By choosing ENERGY STAR® labeled appliances, electric rate payers in Churchville can make a difference in protecting the environment and reducing their electric costs. Incentives are available for air conditioners, ceiling fans, clothes washers, dehumidifiers, dishwashers, electric hot water heaters, programmable thermostats, and refrigerators.

Residential electric customers can receive more information and obtain an application at the Village Office, 23 East Buffalo Street, 14428, or by inquiring with local appliance stores.
