AKRON, Ohio, April 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Saving energy is a great way to celebrate Earth Day. By using the Home Energy Analyzer, FirstEnergy Corp.'s (NYSE: [ FE ]) utility customers can save energy and money by learning how energy efficient their homes are and what steps they can take to make more informed decisions about the energy they use.

One entry per residential account is permitted.
The Home Energy Analyzer is a simple, convenient, online tool that allows a customer to get a personalized assessment of their home's energy use, see how their home compares to similar homes, and identify ways to improve its efficiency. The Home Energy Analyzer is easily accessible via FirstEnergy's energy efficiency website – [ www.energysaveohio.com ]. To sign up, all customers need is their account number, which is located on their billing statement.
"The Home Energy Analyzer is a quick and easy way for customers to learn more about energy usage in their home," said John Dargie, vice president of Energy Efficiency. "This simple online tool can really help save energy and money."
