The kit includes:

- Hot water temperature gauge
- Home thermometer
- How to Save brochure
You’ll also receive a free energy audit report to help you understand where your home is wasting energy. There are two ways to complete the energy audit.
The promotion is offered through TVA and energy right®. TVA wants to reduce energy demand in the Valley by 1,200 megawatts by the year 2013. By using the energy kit, you will be able to reduce the amount of electricity you use and see significant savings.
Compact fluorescents use 75% less energy and last 10 times longer than traditional bulbs. Outlet and light switch gaskets insulate to stop air leaks. Faucet aerators save water and improve efficiency. A filter whistle lets you know when your air filter should be changed, and the hot water temperature gauge measures the temperature of tap water to determine if the setting on your hot water heater should be lowered.
Both the paper and online audit provide specific feedback using your energy consumption information. The online audit asks you to register as a new user. It also asks you to provide information regarding your recent energy usage. You may enter up to 12 months of energy billing information. Adding even one month of your bill history often improves your results.
