Approximately
60 energy experts from FPL and employee volunteers from the City of
Sanford traveled through neighborhoods to deliver the gift of
energy-efficiency upgrades to residents, saving these FPL customers
up to 25 percent monthly on their electric bills.
Sanford
Mayor Jeff Triplett, Commissioner Velma Williams and the Goldsboro
Front Porch Council of Sanford joined the FPL volunteers and helped
out with energy-efficient upgrades as part of the Home Energy
Makeover team. “Our partnership with FPL gives residents of Sanford
access to the tools and information they need to learn to conserve
energy and to save money,” Mayor Jeff Triplett said. “The Home
Energy Makeover is a great way for Sanford residents to kick-off the
holiday season with savings.”
Upgrades
performed included: installing lifetime air conditioning filters,
compact fluorescent lights, weather stripping, and water-saving
showerheads and faucets, as well as inserting refrigerator and
freezer thermometers.
“FPL
is proud to partner with the City of Sanford to educate residents on
how to reduce their energy use and save on their monthly expenses,”
said Larry Volenec, FPL’s external affairs manager. “Our
energy-makeover team shared tips and advice on easy, low-cost
improvements that can benefit all families throughout the service
territory. FPL customers have the lowest electric bills in the state,
and these tips will help them continue to save.”
Most
of these energy-efficiency upgrades can be adopted by any FPL
customer looking to make smarter, cleaner energy choices. Customers

Makeovers by visiting the Energy Savings Toolkit section at
