Contest Description

 

Are your home energy
bills higher than your neighbors?

Are your home energy bills higher than anyone else’s in Montrose and Delta Counties?


DMEA is looking for 10 members with higher-than-average home energy bills who desperately need to make their homes more energy efficient!

The DMEA member with the greatest potential to demonstrate home energy savings will win up to $25,000 in energy-related home improvements. The two runners-up will receive up to $10,000 in energy-related home improvements. Seven additional members will receive a free comprehensive energy analysis of their home with specific recommendations on how best to cut their home energy bills. The finalists will be selected by DMEA in consultation with the Colorado Energy Science Center and the contest co-sponsors based on an analysis of the homeowner’s total energy bills (meaning electricity, gas and propane) over the last 12 months, and other criteria. See the contest rules for details.

To enter:

  1. The best way to apply is to go online to www.homeenergymakeover.com. Completing your application online is easier, saves you a postage stamp, and will provide you with the very latest details about this exciting contest.

  2. When you complete and submit your entry form you are giving the Colorado Energy Science Center permission to review your past 12 months of DMEA electricity bills. You must own and reside in a home that receives electric service from DMEA to enter.

  3. If your home uses gas or propane, you must provide information on your last 12 months of gas or propane usage along with your application. You can use your past gas or propane bills or you can contact your gas or propane dealer for this information. Do not send copies of your bills. In order to be eligible, use this form to provide the required information. This information is necessary to evaluate your home's total energy usage.

  4. All entries must be submitted online or postmarked by August 31, 2005. Odds of winning depend upon the number of applications but will not exceed 10 in 30,000. More information and contest entry rules are available in DMEA’s lobby and online at www.homeenergymakeover.com.
