HEET Giving LEDs to Income-Qualified UPPCO Customers

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

Income guidelines range from $23,340 for a single person up to $80,180 for a family of eight.

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 in downtown Hancock any Thursday between 4 and 8 p.m.
