Simple steps, smart savings

IFP participates with other utilities in the region to “buy-down” the cost of CFL bulbs from the manufacturer, so the customer realizes lower costs in the retail stores. The bulbs are available at most regional chain stores, and may be promoted by individual stores under branding such as “Savings With A Twist” or “Change-A-Light, Change the World.”

Weatherization

Idaho Falls Power will conduct a free home energy audit for any IFP customer.

Heating & Cooling

Rebates or zero interest loans to qualifying customers to install efficient heat pumps in new or existing buildings.
