Are your heating bills high? Is your house cold all winter?
Our Home Energy Conservation and Weatherization Program will help you save money and energy. Individuals and families with annual household income at or below 200% of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Federal Poverty Income Guideline ($36,620 for a household of three) may be eligible for the Home Weatherization ad Energy Conservation Program.
An Opportunity Council Home Energy Conservation Auditor inspects the home of a qualifying applicant and delivers a report including safety and health measures that need to be addressed. The Auditor tests heaters, hot water heaters, gas stoves and all major appliances for safety and efficiency. We provide an educational component to further involve residents in managing their home systems. Qualified professionals install recommended measures and the Auditor returns for an inspection to ensure that all work is completed to meet or exceed industry standards for safety and energy efficiency.
The Home Energy Conservation Program helps to reduce energy cost and increases comfort and safety for the homeowner or renter. Annual household savings on energy costs average around $500. It also improves the value and durability of the home, reduces pollution and our dependence on fuel imports and extraction.
