Long Beach homeowners can enter to win energy efficiency makeovers for their home.

One grand-prize winner and one runner-up prize winner will be chosen in each of the nine council districts.

 Nine grand prizes worth $5,000 each, and nine runner-up prizes worth $800 each, will be available through Long Beach's Energy Efficiency Opportunity Drawing.

To be eligible, entries must be Long Beach residents, Southern California Edison customers and homeowners. Entry forms and a step-by-step process are available online at www.sustainablelb.com.

The Energy Efficiency Opportunity Drawing is a partnership between the city and SCE, as a result of the city's Local Government Energy Efficiency Partnership, which was launched in January.

Winners will be selected the week of Nov. 29.

Grand-prize winners will choose which energy efficiency measures they want to install based on the results of a Home Energy Survey.

Runner-up prize winners will be able to pick from a predetermined list of devices, which includes a Variable Speed pool pump, an Energy Star Refrigerator, an Energy Star Room AC or a Whole House Fan. The awards for grand and runner-up prizes will cover both materials and labor.

For more information, visit www.sustainablelb.com or contact the sustainability coordinator at Meredith.Reynolds@longbeach.gov or 562.570.6396.
