Enrolling in one of ComEd’s new Smart Ideas energy efficiency programs is part of ComEd’s 12 Ways to Green campaign, launched earlier this year to raise customer awareness about energy efficiency and other environmental initiatives. 
 
Smart Ideas for Your Home

This program provides residential customers with several options to conserve energy and save money. Customers can purchase select compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs at a discount all year long, receive bill credits in exchange for allowing their central air conditioner's compressor to be cycled on-and-off during times of peak energy use, and receive a $25 cash rebate to recycle their working second refrigerator, freezer or window air conditioner (limited time offer per calendar year).

Smart Ideas for Your Business

This program provides commercial and industrial customers with a menu of energy efficiency measures, including environmentally friendly lighting, motors, HVAC equipment and chillers. These customers also would receive an incentive from ComEd for the implementation of these technologies.
