Retrofit Program: Start with a free energy audit!
If your home qualifies, we’ll send one of our technicians to conduct an energy audit, at no cost. We’ll inspect the house as a whole and recommend various efficiency measures such as air-sealing, additional insulation, or replacing old heating equipment with high-efficiency models.
We’ll be happy to give you a list of certified contractors. And in many instances, we can arrange zero-percent interest loans for qualified customers enrolled in the Retrofit Program.
We also offer cash incentives for efficiency improvement projects, as much as one-third of the cost in some cases.
