Nope not a scam at all. It’s a nice little box with like 3-4 LED lights along with a good power strip and some other fun little nicknacks. Pretty worth it

Probably not. PSE&G (northern NJ) sends out stuff like this, but they charge us. I've gotten a case of 12 LED lights, power strips, weatherstripping - just for $1 or $3 shipping.
Last year they sold me a Google Nest thermostat for $10.

The utilities want us to be more power-efficient.

Got mine this week, definitely not a scam. Power strip, lower flow shower head, nightlights, light bulbs and more.

Make sure you install the furnace whistle so it can go off at 2:00 AM, just like the smoke alarm with the dying battery!

I got it. Mine also had a power strip. The cord is short, but still nice to have.

Maybe JCPL got infrastructure money from the fed err rally government for this.

I was so pleasantly surprised when I got this package. I thought it was neat.

No, it's not a scam. You can also get highly discounted smart thermostats.

Yes, Jersey Central is a scam, much better performance from PSE&G (not that you have a choice in your electric utility monopoly)

not a scam. the power strip is pretty nice.

you can periodically get free or very cheap smart thermostats through the jcpl marketplace too. They have nest, ecobee etc.

The savings are right inside of the box. All you need to do is have the tenacity to open it

Went all LED years back when it was still somewhat expensive (now costco has 6pk for $3-5 on sale), still easily paid for itself.

It was something like a 75-80% drop in consumption for my place. Bill was so much cheaper it was jaw dropping.

It's a two piece plastic whistle that you pierce through your furnace filter. When the filter becomes clogged, it forces more air through the plastic piece and makes an annoying whistle noise (most likely at 2:00 AM!).

You know, every fucking LED light bulb that I’ve replaced old incandescent bulbs with has died, each lasting for a significantly lesser amount of time than just regular old light bulbs. Just throwing my two cents into this.
