(Albuquerque, NM) – As Veterans Day approaches on November 11, PNM wants to honor those who have served our great country. Now, until November 30, all veterans can receive a Virtual Home Energy Checkup, along with multiple energy-savings products, completely free of charge.

“I’m so happy we are able to offer this program to our veterans,” said Melissa Leymon, Manager of Customer Programs, for PNM. “We know there’s nothing we can do to repay our veterans for the debt we owe them as citizens, but we hope this at least shows them how much we value the commitment and sacrifices they’ve made to protect all the things we each hold dear.”
