Getting energy-efficient appliances means saving on money and energy in the long run, but investing in new energy-efficient may not be financially possible for some companies. First Choice Power wants to chip in to give back through $2,000 energy-efficiency grants.

To be eligible you must be in the Texas serviceable area of First Choice Power.

Guidelines and information about the grants are available at: http://www.firstchoicepower.com/texas-electric/reduce-your-use-grants.html
