Only those measures that are critical to the efficiency of the structure and its effect on the health and safety of the occupants shall be provided. The following is a list of the measures:

• Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs
• Faucet aerators

Duke Energy can also swap out low-income residents' old, inefficient refrigerators with new Energy Star rated refrigerators through their Refrigerator Replacement Program. This program is offered through a partnership with the state of Indiana and Whirlpool Corporation in Evansville, Indiana. To see if they qualify, Duke Energy customers can contact their local Indiana Community Action Agency at 1-800-382-9895, or visit their website.
