Did you know that the typical U.S. family spends close to $1300 a year on their home's utility bills? Unfortunately, a large portion of that energy is wasted because of ill-fitting windows, poorly insulated areas or other energy-wasters in the home. As a service to Clark Energy members, our trained representative will conduct an analysis of your home's energy usage and offer suggestions on what you can do to improve your home's electric efficiency. Please call our Member Services Department at 1-800-992-3269 to set up an appointment or call and request our "Energy Savers-Tips on Saving Energy and Money at Home" to help guide you in conducting your own analysis.
