Barbara said she expects a noticeable difference in her bill, especially during the summer months when her air conditioning use spikes. <\/p>\n<p>Once Barbara\u2019s system was installed, she learned about GRID\u2019s recently launched Homeowner Referral Program. Homeowners and volunteers who refer qualified applicants can receive a $200 bonus. In addition to helping friends, family, and neighbors to lower their electricity bills, the incentive can be very rewarding due to the limitless allowable referrals. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI started off spreading the word on my block,\u201d stated Barbara. \u201cNow, I plan on continuing to share the good news to the next block and so on. I recommend GRID to everyone. You will definitely see a substantial savings.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Barbara\u2019s enthusiasm is admirable, as she has spoken to approximately 6-8 homeowners to date. If you are an existing GRID homeowner or volunteer, what are you waiting for? Refer a qualified homeowner to GRID and when their system is installed, you too can receive a $200 referral bonus. Please contact our Outreach team at 951-465-2864 for additional details about the Referral Program.
