Dominion Energy customers in the Dentsville area of Columbia recently attended a kickoff event for the Neighborhood Energy Efficiency Program (NEEP). They are among approximately 2,300 customers in the area who are eligible for free energy-saving products and services through NEEP, which offers home assessments, on-site education and installation of energy-efficient products to income-eligible customers.
Eligible customers began receiving information on how to participate in February, with installations in homes beginning in March and continuing through the end of May. Dominion Energy representatives will complete installations at no cost.
“Our team is working with customers across our service area to deliver practical tips and products with the aim of reducing their energy use and lowering costs over time,” said Derek McDaniel, program manager. “Through NEEP, we meet customers where they are and provide free energy assessments and upgrades that make energy efficiency more accessible. We’re excited to bring this program to the Dentsville community to help more customers take advantage of these resources.”
Energy-saving products available to program-eligible residential customers include the following:
- LED light bulbs
- Faucet aerators and low-flow shower heads
- Electric water heater wraps and pipe insulation
- Advanced smart power strips
- Door sweeps and weatherstripping for doors and windows
- HVAC air filter replacement
- Digital wall thermometers
In addition to learning more about NEEP, customers also had the opportunity to speak directly with a Dominion Energy customer assistance representative and explore the company’s additional programs and resources.
Since its launch in 2013, NEEP has helped Dominion Energy customers across the state reduce electricity usage through direct-install improvements and energy education. Over the past decade, customers have saved enough electricity to power approximately 112,000 homes for a year.
