Use Caution When Shopping “Energy Efficient”

Attorney General Tom Corbett is urging PA consumers to shop carefully when considering products or services advertised as being “energy efficient,” and to thoroughly review claims about financial savings or tax benefits related to certain purchases or home improvements.

Those who are considering home improvement projects like the replacement of windows and doors, or other large-scale changes, should verify that the installation business or contractor is registered with the Attorney General’s Bureau of Consumer Protection.

If you think you have been a victim of deceptive advertising or high-pressure sales tactics, or if you are a homeowner who was directed to use an unregistered contractor, you can file a complaint by calling the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Hotline at 1-800-441-2555 or file an online complaint at www.attorneygeneral.gov.
