Light has been shining more efficiently on members of the Brad Korb Team since early October, when energy-saving light bulbs were installed throughout Korb's offices. According toOffice Manager Heather Tyler, the project was done in cooperation with the City of Burbank and Burbank Water & Power's Energy Solutions Program, which offered partial rebates for the cost of the new bulbs.

"The energy savings are expected to pay for the cost of the replacement within a year and a half," said Tyler. "It's a great program that will help make Burbank much more energy-efficient."

For more information about how the program assists businesses in being more energy-efficient, call 818-238-3638. Private residences can also benefit from the city's programs. For example, BWP has a Home Rewards Rebate program for energy-smart appliances ranging from ceiling fans, pool pumps, and air conditioners to dishwashers, clothes washers, and refrigerators.
