ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Duke Energy Florida's EnergyWise Home program offers up to $141 in annual bill credits for homeowners and renters. Unlike other resources, it has minimal requirements, and little effort is needed from enrolled customers in order to receive the credits. In fact, most customers start saving immediately – without making any changes to their habits or daily routines.
How it works
- Customers enroll select appliances. This enables Duke Energy Florida to reduce their run time during periods of high energy demand.
- To enroll, click here or call 888.282.9757.
- A small device is installed on each appliance – at no charge. They can then be cycled off as needed, starting with water heaters and ending with heating and cooling units, which are rarely impacted.
- The vast majority of customers save even if the devices are not activated. As long as they use at least 600 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy per month (typical residential customers use 1,000 kWh), they will get bill credits.
Bill credit breakdown
- Heating: $24 annually
- Cooling: $45 annually
- Pool pump: $30 annually
- Water heater: $42 annually
- TOTAL: $141 annually
Note: Mobile home residents can receive up to $111 in annual bill credits for enrolling heating, cooling and water heaters.
