Planting shade trees can save you up to $50 on your annual energy bill SRP is inviting their customers in the Phoenix metro area to participate in the SRP Shade Tree Program, enabling you to save up to $50 a year on your energy bill.
By planting desert-adapted trees in energy-saving locations around your home, you'll reduce cooling costs, improve air quality and lower the Valley's heat effect, without using a lot of water. Plus, you'll help beautify your home with a plush landscape that you can enjoy year-round.
Not only do shade trees block the sun's rays to provide natural, "low-tech" cooling, they also:
Renew your air supply by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen
Produce nearly 260 pounds of oxygen per tree each year
Remove up to 2.6 tons of carbon dioxide each year per acre of trees
Can make buildings up to 20 degrees cooler in the summer
Lower the air temperature by evaporating water from their leaves
Stabilize soil and prevent erosion
Can improve home values
The SRP Shade Tree Program provides up to two free desert-adapted shade trees for Valley homes. The trees will be approximately 4 to 6 foot saplings. To ensure your tree thrives, they require participants to attend a workshop teaching you how to best select, plant and care for your trees.
To participate in the program, you must:
Be a current residential electric customer
Have the legal right to plant trees on the property
Attend an SRP Shade Tree workshop
Plant trees on the south, west and east sides of your home within 15 feet of exposed exterior walls and windows
Have the ability to care for the tree, as needed
