City of Columbiana Efficiency Smart programs

How it works

The City of Columbiana participates in Efficiency Smart to help residential and business electric customers save energy and money. The page says Efficiency Smart can help with efficiency projects from start to finish and offers free technical advice, rebates, and other support.

What the money covers

For residents, the page lists several home offerings:

• Home Energy Rebates for energy-efficient products and appliances
• Appliance Recycling Rewards for responsibly recycling old appliances
• Electricity Usage Monitor tools that can be borrowed to measure how much electricity household products use
• Electric Bill Advice, Electricity Usage Calculator, and Local Retail Savings resources

The page also highlights current community offers:

• $75 reward plus free pickup for responsibly recycling an eligible refrigerator, freezer, window air conditioner, or dehumidifier, available through September 30
• $150 rebate on the purchase of a qualifying ENERGY STAR-certified window air conditioner through September 30
• Community Energy Savings, a voluntary smart thermostat program designed to reduce the cost of electricity for the community, with a $55 reward for enrolling

Amounts and matching

• $75 reward for eligible appliance recycling, plus free pickup
• $150 rebate for qualifying ENERGY STAR-certified window air conditioners
• $55 reward for enrolling in the smart thermostat program

The page does not give a single overall cap for all Efficiency Smart home offers.

How to apply

The page directs homeowners to click "Learn more" on the relevant offer pages. It also notes that the community energy savings thermostat offer is a voluntary program and that customers should enroll to receive the reward.

Timing and deadlines

• Appliance recycling reward: through September 30
• Window air conditioner rebate: now through September 30
• The thermostat program is described as a community offer, but the page does not list a closing date for enrollment

Who can use the program

The page says only City of Columbiana Electric Dept. customers are eligible for the services listed here. Homeowners, renters, and businesses can all access the broader Efficiency Smart services, but the page does not provide additional homeowner-specific restrictions for the listed resident offers.
