By: FPL Media Line Approximately 60 energy experts from FPL and city employee volunteers traveled through neighborhoods to deliver the energy efficiency upgrades, which are expected to save these FPL customers, many of whom are senior citizens living on fixed incomes, as much as 25 percent on their utility bills. Since 2006, FPL has installed extensive energy efficiency upgrades in 700 homes through the company's Home Energy Makeover program. The program cumulatively is saving the participants an estimated $140,000 combined each year. “FPL is proud to continue our partnership with the City of West Palm Beach, and help more residents in the area reduce their energy use and save on their monthly expenses,” said FPL’s External Affairs Director Don Kiselewski. "Our energy makeover teams are helping make the lowest electric bill in the state even lower by sharing tips from FPL's energy efficiency programs and implementing easy, low-cost improvements that can save customers even more money." City officials, including City of West Palm Beach Mayor Jeri Muoio and Commissioner William Moss, joined approximately 60 FPL volunteers and helped out with energy-efficient upgrades as part of the Home Energy Makeover team. “Giving our residents the resources to be more energy-efficient in their daily lives is a big priority for us, and the makeovers are the perfect start to our e4 Sustainability Summit,” Mayor Muoio said. “Our partnership with FPL helps give the residents of West Palm Beach the tools and information they need to save money and make a positive impact on their daily lives.” A total of 12 Home Energy Makeover teams visited homes of pre-qualified customers for up to two hours each to install upgrades and educate homeowners about ways to reduce their energy usage. Upgrades included: • Repairing air conditioning ducts • Checking and installing insulation • Installing lifetime air conditioning filters • Installing compact fluorescent lights • Inserting refrigerator and freezer thermometers • Installing weather stripping • Installing water-saving showerheads and faucets Most of these energy efficiency upgrades can be adopted by any FPL customer looking to make smarter, cleaner energy choices.
