Tens of thousands sign up for Province’s “No-Cost Energy Efficiency Program”

LETHBRIDGE – Those who registered for the free home energy kits over the last couple of months should be getting calls soon, from a company called “Ecofitt,” about someone coming to install their free bulbs, nighlights, power-saving A-V bars, showerheads and thermostats.

Environment Minister Shannon Phillips says the demand for the products has far exceeded what government thought.

“We have had over 80,000 people sign up. It has surpassed all of our expectations, so we’re making sure we can meet that demand very quickly.”

The program was announced in late February as part of a $45 million energy efficiency initiative. http://lethbridgenewsnow.com/article/549714/registration-residential-no-cost-energy-savings-program-begins
