Dominion Energy Launches Program in Calhoun Falls to Help Customers Save Energy and Money

CAYCE, S.C. (Sept. 14, 2023) – Dominion Energy recently hosted a kickoff event in Calhoun Falls at the city’s town hall to inform residents of the Neighborhood Energy Efficiency Program (NEEP), which offers energy-saving products and services to eligible customers.

The program offers more than 800 eligible customers located in communities throughout Calhoun Falls free energy-efficiency assessments, as well as other energy-saving products and services. Residents began receiving information on how to participate in August. Installations in homes began in late August and will continue through October. NEEP provides income-qualified customers with these services in communities in the company’s service territory.

“We continue to work our way throughout communities in South Carolina, bringing important education and tools customers can use to improve the energy usage in their homes,” said Gerald Freeman, program manager of Dominion Energy South Carolina’s Neighborhood Energy Efficiency Program. “Program representatives provide tailored recommendations based on participants’ unique situations and homes.”

Energy-saving products available to program-eligible residential electric customers include the following:  

  • LED light bulbs 
  • Faucet aerators
  • Low-flow shower heads
  • Electric water heater wraps and insulation for water pipes
  • Weatherstripping for doors and windows
  • Advanced power strips
  • Adjustment of electric water heater temperature
  • Heating, ventilation and air conditioning filter replacement

Dominion Energy South Carolina started NEEP in 2013 to provide eligible residential electric customers with energy education and direct no-cost installation of energy-saving improvements.

Beyond NEEP, customers can take advantage of the energy-efficiency tips, rebates and incentives associated with all EnergyWise programs. During the past 12 years, Dominion Energy customers in South Carolina have reduced electricity usage by more than 1 billion kilowatt hours – that’s enough energy to power approximately 92,000 homes for a year.

Dominion Energy offers a comprehensive portfolio of EnergyWise programs that work together to increase overall energy efficiency and reduce energy usage. For more information about these programs, visit dominionenergysc.com/EnergyWise or call toll-free at 877-510-7234.
