MASON CITY – Energy experts will be in Mason City April 29 through May 11 conducting free energy assessments. Small businesses will see immediate savings from this energy-saving program offered by Alliant Energy.
Qualifying small businesses can get a free energy assessment through Alliant Energy’s Small Business Energy Assessment program. In addition to the assessment, an energy expert will install free energy-saving products including CFL bulbs and programmable thermostats. Plus, small business owners receive a customized plan for energy- and money-saving improvements.
The customized energy plan includes information about ways small businesses can earn rebates from Alliant Energy to offset the cost of making recommended energy-efficiency upgrades. As a bonus, businesses may also qualify for Alliant Energy’s Small Business Energy Solutions program.
The Small Business Energy Solutions program helps small businesses complete efficient lighting projects that can lower utility bills and reduce operating costs. This turnkey lighting program pays up to 75 percent of the total project costs. The simple, streamlined process is designed to work with the busy schedules of small business owners.
To participate in either of these programs, a small business must be a customer of Alliant Energy, have an annual billing of less than $50,000, occupy less than 20,000 square feet and receive property owner approval if the facility is leased.
