LOS ANGELES, July 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California
Gas Co. (SoCalGas) this week launched a multi-media campaign
designed to raise awareness of various energy-efficiency rebates,
and no-cost, or low-cost services available to help small and
medium-sized business customers conserve energy. This campaign will
run through Aug. 28 and will target
independently owned businesses such as beauty salons, restaurants
and laundromats that strive to reduce their energy use.
"Many small businesses look for ways to save money to stay
competitive in the marketplace," said Ann
Ayres, SoCalGas' director of customer strategy and
engagement. "We support our business customers by helping them
invest in equipment that conserves natural gas, helps them save
money and contributes to healthier communities."
SoCalGas defines small and medium-sized businesses as commercial
ventures that use less than 50,000 therms of natural gas a year.
Through this multi-platform campaign, independently owned, small
and medium-sized businesses throughout SoCalGas' service territory
will be offered rebates when they buy new energy-saving
equipment.
"We appreciate SoCalGas' efforts in supporting small and
medium-sized businesses by offering them rebates that will help
them save money on their energy costs," said Gary Toebben, president & chief executive
officer of the Los Angeles Area
Chamber of Commerce. "This is a win-win for businesses and the
environment."
Over the past five years, SoCalGas has invested in programs to
help commercial and residential customers increase the efficiency
of their home appliances and commercial equipment. With help from
these programs, customers have saved more than $109 million annually on energy costs and have
reduced emissions by 915,000 tons of carbon dioxide - the
equivalent of removing 175,000 cars from the road.
Through a separate, limited-time promotion, small businesses can
receive up to 50 percent more in rebates on select boilers, pool
covers, pool heaters, commercial steam traps and pipe and tank
insulations. Visit socalgas.com and search "business rebates" for
