Are you tired of sky-high energy bills? Want to reduce your carbon footprint and help the environment? The Citizens Utility Board (CUB) is bringing its expertise to the Aurora Public Library District (APLD) with a Home Energy Savings program Thursday, Aug. 15. This event is an opporunity to learn practical tips and strategies to lower energy costs while making a positive impact on the planet.
The Citizens Utility Board (CUB) is a non-profit organization based in Illinois dedicated to protecting consumers and promoting energy efficiency. Established by the Illinois Legislature in 1984, CUB has become a leading voice for residential and small business utility customers, standing up for the everyday consumer. In their 40 years, CUB has led thousands of energy saving workshops, challenged multiple utility rate-hike requests, promoted legislation for clean energy, created a free informational hotline for consumers, and maintained an online library of free guides and fact sheets. During the Home Energy Savings program at the Library, CUB experts will provide valuable insights into understanding your utility bills, exploring energy efficiency options, and navigating the complex world of energy suppliers.
This Home Energy Saving program is a fantastic resource for a wide range of people, each with different motivations and goals. “It’s like hitting the jackpot for anyone looking to cut down on their energy bills for their home.” said Library assistant, Rupangi Bakshi.
“Environmental enthusiasts and those looking to reduce their carbon footprint will find these programs particularly appealing. Renters can benefit from this program, especially if they’re responsible for their own utility costs.”
By attending this program, customers can learn information on many energy-savings incentives such as rebates, discounts on energy-efficient products, and even free energy audits. These audits can identify areas where your home is losing energy and provide tailored suggestions for improvements. With the combined benefits of cost savings, environmental impact, and valuable incentives, it’s a win-win situation for anyone looking to make the home more energy-efficient.
As new technology reinvents the utility landscape, the goal of CUB remains the same: To provide affordable and reliable utility service across the sate.Participants can learn more at the APLD free, informative, Home Energy Savings program at the Aurora Public Library District’s Eola Road Branch Thursday, Aug. 15 at 6 p.m. and can register to this event by visiting www.aurorapubliclibrary.org/event/11066116, or, calling the Library at 630-264-4117.
