HEET Giving LEDs to Income-Qualified UPPCO Customers

HANCOCK–The Houghton Energy Efficiency Team (HEET) is distributing LED light bulbs at no charge to Upper Peninsula Power Co. (UPPCO) customers who meet income guidelines.

The LEDs, which are provided by Efficiency United, use only one-sixth the energy of conventional incandescent bulbs and last up to 20 years. HEET will give eight LEDs to those living in single-family dwellings and five to apartment dwellers.

To pick them up, bring an UPPCO bill and proof of income to the HEET office at 422 Quincy St. in downtown Hancock any Thursday between 4 and 8 p.m. Income guidelines range from $23,340 for a single person up to $80,180 for a family of eight.
