Appliances & Electronics BVES recommends that when you replace your appliances and electronics that you buy Energy Star labeled products. BVES offers rebates for Energy Star qualified refrigerators and room air conditioners. If you need to replace your electric water heater, we offer rebates for high efficiency replacements. See the eligible makes and models here. For program eligibility details download the application. Lighting Use Energy Star qualified compact fluorescent lights (CFLs). Since lighting accounts for approximately 20% of your electric bill, you can save money by installing CFLs. Many new CFL products have become available including 3-way lamps, dimmable lamps, flood lamps and lamps that fit ornamental fixtures such as vanity lights and chandeliers. Visit www.EnergyStar.Gov for more details. Lighting Exchange Events
LED holiday lights use up to 90% less energy and are cooler to the touch – making them both more energy efficient and safer than older incandescent lights. Before Christmas, BVES exchanged hundreds of old, inefficient holiday lights for energy efficient LED lights. Now that we are taking our lights down, we are extending this free offer through January 13th (as long as our supply lasts). So after you take down your old incandescent lights bring them in exchange for LED holiday lights for next year. Just come to our office between 2PM and 4PM Monday through Friday and you can receive up to five (5) strands of multi-colored LED holiday lights in exchange for your old incandescent strands. Bear Valley Electric Service is located at 42020 Garstin Drive in Big Bear Lake. We hope to see you soon!
