Tricks and Treats to Help Homeowners’ Scariest Utility Bills
JELD-WEN Awarding New Energy Efficient Windows and Doors to Homeowners Spooked by Winter Temperatures and Rising Energy Costs
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (Business Wire EON) September 27, 2007 -- Shocking. Frightening. Downright spooky. That’s how many homeowners may feel this fall when they see their energy costs rise while temperatures drop outside. It’s enough to send chills down anyone’s spine.
However, one lucky homeowner will have nothing to fear this year. In honor of Energy Efficiency Month in October and with Halloween around the corner, JELD-WEN is kicking off a nationwide search to find the Scariest Utility Bill.
To heat things up this fall, homeowners can win new JELD-WEN® energy efficient windows and doors by submitting their entry online at www.jeld-wen.com. The JELD-WEN Scariest Utility Bill contest runs from October 1 through December 1, 2007. Any 2007 utility bill is eligible; one entry per household. Complete contest rules are available at www.jeld-wen.com.
“Large energy bills can signal the need for home fixes that will help save energy this season and beyond,” said Brian Hedlund, JELD-WEN product marketing manager. “New energy efficient windows and doors can make a dramatic difference. In fact, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, a typical homeowner installing ENERGY STAR qualified windows can expect savings ranging from $125 to $450 a year, depending on the region.”
Recent research from the Energy Information Administration suggests that in the continental United States, homeowners in New England and the mid-Atlantic regions may be more likely to have the scariest utility bills this year. On average, homeowners in New England pay an average of 16.7 cents per kilowatt-hour (kwh) for electricity, while homeowners in the mid-Atlantic pay an average of 13.48 cents per kwh. The average price for electricity throughout the country is 10.65 cents per kwh.
JELD-WEN offers a wide variety of energy efficient products that can provide long-term savings on utility bills, including wood and vinyl windows and fiberglass exterior doors.
