Home Energy Tips & Information:

Picture
Can you tell the difference between these two housing units?

The unit on the right has proper insulation, while the unit on the left has less proper insulation and experiences heat loss that melts the snow on the roof.


Is your home drafty? Have you been refueling often during this cold winter? Ever thought about trying to lower heating costs?



The first step in embarking on this process is to conduct an energy audit of your home. The audit will map out any deficiencies and suggest ways to fix the problems and associated costs. Local energy audit firms are listed below. Financing of energy projects is available through local credit unions and banks


Interested in this process but not sure where to start? Send us an email and we'd be happy to answers questions or assist with the process.
