The City of Bowling Green has announced the availability of the Efficiency Smart Program free meter loan.

Looking to upgrade your old appliances? Do you know what products and appliances are using the most energy in your home? Efficiency Smart’s free meter loan service can help you find out.

You can borrow an electric meter from Efficiency Smart and use it to view the electricity usage and costs of appliances and electronics in your home. You can use the meter to measure most appliances, from refrigerators to entertainment systems.

Just record your results and send them back with your meter. Their customer support team will then compare the energy use of your products to efficient, modern versions. This can help you make smart choices about replacing products in your home to save the most on your electric bill, and help you understand how these items affect your electric bill.
