Beat the heat with FPL’s Virtual Thrift House while helping neighbors in need
The interactive House of Savings experience takes users through new rooms
BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – As summer heat reaches its peak, an augmented reality experience developed by Florida Power & Lighting (FPL) could help customers save during record temperatures. This year, the interactive Savings House experience takes users through new rooms and shares new, easy-to-implement tips to save on your electricity bill.
Participants can use their mobile devices to navigate through the virtual home, answer energy-related questions to see which appliances use the most electricity, and learn how small, unexpected changes like unplugging appliances or electronics can add up to big savings.
By answering all 10 questions correctly, customers will learn how to save more than $30 on their monthly energy bill.
New features included this year:
■ Donate $100,000 to participate in the donation – Every time a customer completes the Savings House experience, $2 will be donated on their behalf, up to a total of $100,000, to FPL Participation sponsorship program. This program provides eligible customers in financial distress with assistance in paying emergency bills, and also assists those who need to make electrical repairs to their meter box or weather head. Each year, the Care to Share program receives assistance to thousands of families, including families affected by natural disasters.
■ Compatibility with virtual reality – Customers can experience FPL House of Savings using a compatible virtual reality (VR) device, including a Meta QUEST device or any webXR-enabled VR device. Customers can access the virtual reality experience on vr.houseofsavingsfl.com on their devices.
Customers can visit the Savings House at FPL.com/HouseofSavings.
To learn more ways to save, customers can go to www.FPL.com/WaystoSave, where they can access free, integrated FPL tools like Energy Manager, information about FPL’s energy saving programs, rebates and more.
