"I find a big difference in my home because of the upgrades. They insulated under my trailer, put in new CFL bulbs, put in an energy efficient shower head, and applied caulking around me windows and doors. It is so much warmer now and I noticed big savings on my energy bill.”
Millie, a participant who is now saving approximately $200/year on her electricity bill.

- Eligible participants will be contacted by one of the four service providers to schedule a home energy assessment performed by a qualified Energy Advisor. The assessment consists of taking basic house measurements, recording insulation values and performing an air leakage test.
- Based on the findings of the assessment, the service provider will return to your home at a scheduled time to complete the recommended upgrades.
There is no charge to you, the homeowner, for the energy assessment or home energy upgrades. The service provider manages all aspects of the project for you. Free education on home energy savings tips are also provided throughout the process.
