Utility parent Eversource and the city of Hartford said they will host a free light bulb swap for residents Sunday as part of the 2016 ENERGY STAR Change the World Tour.
The light bulb swap will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at both the Thirman Milner School, located at 104 Vine St., and the South End Wellness Senior Center, located at 830 Maple Ave.
Hartford residents, with identification, may bring up to five incandescent light bulbs in any condition and exchange them for new, energy-efficient ENERGY STAR LED bulbs, free of charge. Additional LEDs and lighting products will be available for purchase at a discounted rate.
In 2013, Hartford joined Clean Energy Communities, the nationally-recognized Energize Connecticut program to help cities and towns save energy and increase the installation of renewable energy. Eversource is currently working with Hartford to help it reach its energy goals and reduce municipal building energy consumption by 20 percent by 2018.
