Water heating is the second largest energy user in your home, second only to heat.  If you sign up for AEL&P's water-heater rebate program, you'll get a $4 rebate on your electric bill each month from November through May.

Here's how the program works:

A switch is installed on your water heater that is capable of interrupting power to the heater during longer outages and emergencies.  Here's why these switches are a benefit to our entire community.  Following a power outage, every furnace, refrigerator, water heater (without a switch), and electric appliance that was on at the time of the outage, will all come back on at the same time when power is restored.

This creates a huge electrical demand that can greatly slow our efforts to restore your power.  Our switch keeps the water heater from turning on for several minutes after the power is restored.  This delay creates less stress on AEL&P's system, which in turn reduces the actual outage time.

You qualify for our switch if ...

• You own an electric water heater.

• You don't mind having a gray box wired to your water heater, and ...

• You don't mind saving a few bucks on your electric bill.
