ATLANTA, July 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Georgia Power
finds many Georgians are unfamiliar with new and existing energy
efficiency programs available for residential customers. These
offerings can help Georgia Power customers improve the efficiency
of their homes to better manage energy usage and power bills,
especially in the hot summer months.
While some of the programs offer no-cost tools and resources or
rebates to any customers, others are tailored to income-qualified
customers, and even provide no-cost home improvements to improve
comfort and efficiency year-round for customers least able to
afford efficiency upgrades.
Energy efficiency programs for the home include:
- Conduct a free, online energy checkup – Take a quick and
easy online energy checkup that provides a customized energy usage
report and ways to save money. Visit

energy savings improvements.
- Home Energy Efficiency Assistance Program (HEEAP) – The
Home Energy Efficiency Assistance Program (HEEAP) helps eligible
income-qualified customers make free energy efficiency improvements
in their single-family home. At no cost to the customer, a program
contractor performs the recommended energy efficiency upgrades.

incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs to use 90% less energy. Each bulb
