CPS Smart Energy
Today's energy-efficient building techniques can keep your home comfortable while lowering your energy bills, but the type of energy used is just as important. Being well-informed about the choices available in energy usage could help you save up to 20-percent on monthly utility bills. To assist you in making the best energy choice when buying your new home, CPS Energy has developed the Smart Energy Program which uses a combination of both gas and electricity.
What is Smart Energy?
Smart Energy is the use of combined electric energy and natural gas for the greatest energy efficiency. This combination can save the average homeowner approximately 20-percent annually on utility bills, while conserving natural resources, and having less of an impact on the environment.
Electricity, although essential to every household, uses more energy to power appliances than that of natural gas. Electric water heaters, furnaces, dryers, and stoves cost nearly one-third more to operate than the same gas appliances. Why? Natural gas is far more efficient for generating heat than electricity – and in more ways than one.
