LED Bulbs For Qualified Residents

UPPCO customers who meet income guidelines can receive up to eight LED bulbs at no charge from the Houghton Energy Efficiency Team.

Executive director of HEET Melissa Davis will distribute the bulbs at Ace Hardware in Calumet from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. each Saturday in May.

People living in apartments can receive five free bulbs; those living in houses or half-houses qualify for eight.

Income guidelines are 200 percent of the poverty level, ranging from $23,340 for a one-person household up to $80,180 for a family of eight.

You need to bring an UPPCO bill and proof of income to qualify.

HEET and the local weatherization nonprofit New Power Tour administer the LED Program on behalf of Efficiency United.
