How to Reduce your Energy Bill!

Breton Electric is committed to helping our customers save money. We also support efforts to reduce carbon emissions.

We try out different types of indoor and outdoor compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) in our own home and are always researching information and product sources so that we can help our customers choose the most efficient and effective way to light their homes and businesses.

Luckily, there are many excellent resources for energy-saving tips. There are also many groups that provide information about steps we can each take to reduce our carbon emissions.
