Progress Energy will offer customers larger rebates to adopt energy-efficiency programs in their homes while doing away with some programs that are not working or are outdated.

The N.C. Utilities Commission approved the changes Tuesday but gave customers 60 days to submit claims for the programs that are being eliminated. The Raleigh-based utility will no longer pay customers $100 for an AC tune-up, $60 for duct testing or for window replacement.

Progress periodically adjusts its incentive programs to make sure they are saving energy and they are cost-effective.

For example, the company is eliminating its window replacement program, which paid $30 per window for up to 15 windows, because stricter building codes in North Carolina require windows that are more energy-efficient.

Progress has been adopting energy efficiency programs to comply with a state mandate to offset electricity demand with conservation programs and alternative energy resources. The utility estimates that 84,000 customers will sign up for the programs through 2016.

The programs, which Progress expects to spend $32.7 million on through 2016, are now going through a round of modifications.

Progress is increasing the incentive for attic insulation and air sealing from $350 to $500. The company will pay customers $190 to seal and repair air ducts, up from $120.

Progress is introducing two new incentives: $25 to install a window-unit air conditioner, and $350 for buying an energy-efficient water heater.

To qualify, customers must meet specific criteria, which typically include using one of 850 certified installers and technicians.

The program details can be found at http://www.progress-energy.com (Under "For your home," click on "Save Energy & Money"). The website will be updated soon.

30-01-2012 13:24 Maintaining Your Sliding Window - We are going to learn how to maintain your sliding window. The first step is to slide open the sash. On the top of the window, you will notice a few tabs. These tabs prevent the sash from being removed from the outside. Next, we will remove the sash. Ensure the window is clear of the last tab and the lock is not touching the jamb. Lift up on the sash from the bottom. Pull out and down to remove the sash. / You may notice that moisture and debris is present in the window track, this is normal. Using a putty knife, lift up and remove the track. Using a non-abrasive cloth, soap, and water, clean the track. It is important to avoid abrasive chemicals. To reinstall, slide the track in the groove, sloping it away from you, and press down. The track will need to be snapped into place. A soft block of wood and mallet are needed for this. Place the block of wood at an angle on the track and pound the block along the length of the track to snap into place. Install the sash from the top, slide it in from the bottom. Next, you will need to have access to the outside of the window to check and clean the weep-hole cover and weep-hole. A putty knife and pipe cleaner are needed. Take off the weep-hole cover. Inspect to ensure the flap is moving. Use the pipe cleaner to clean the weep-hole of excess debris. Place the weep-hole cover back into the weep-hole.

30-01-2012 13:26 Adjusting the Sliding Window Rollers for Smooth Operation - We are going to show you how to adjust and clean the rollers. Occasional adjustments may be needed to maintain smooth window operation. On the bottom of your window there are two assemblies containing vinyl wheels. Each assembly has two positions for each wheel. Remove the wheel by snapping it out of the wheel casing. Raise or lower the wheels to the desired height and snap them back into place. Repeat this step on the other wheel assembly. Once the wheels are snapped back into place, clean your rollers. Make sure the wheels roll back and forth, and there is no dirt or debris in them. Spray your wheels with a small amount of silicone spray-- just a quick shot for each one. Take a paper towel and wipe down the rollers to ensure sure there is no excess silicone. To reinstall the sash, start with the top. Slide in from the bottom and slide it back and forth.

30-01-2012 13:25 Proper Single Hung Sash Removal - We are going to show you how to remove the sash, the operable portion of the window. There is a silver take-out clip on either side of the jamb. With the sash closed, use a screwdriver to pop the clips out at a 45 degree angle. Perform this on action on both take-out clips. Remove the sash stops, which are located in the top corners of the window. Slide the sash up until you feel it disengage. You will want to make sure both sides catch on the take-out clips. Once they catch, you want to be able to see the bottom of the spring loaded balancers and you know you are past the engagement point. Slide the sash to one side and remove. To re-insert the sash, place it above the bottom of the balancer. Line up the sash, push it in. Make sure you have clearance on the other side and balance it back and forth until you feel both tops catch. Slide the sash down about an inch or two. Make sure you do not see the balancer or any metal on either side of the spring. Then, push in both of your take out clips and bring down the sash. Finally, reinstall the sash stops.
