Home Energy Efficiency Program

This article was archived from the previous WordPress site. Formatting and media should be close, but may not match the original post perfectly.

Dear Neighbors,

In preparation for colder months ahead this is a good time of year to check your home’s energy efficiency.

Windows, doors and electrical outlets are all common areas for your cool/warm air to escape, causing air conditioner units and heaters to work harder and increase your energy usage. Weatherizing can help keep energy use down without sacrificing comfort.

Please know that both United Illuminating and Eversource offer a low-cost in-home assessment service, called Home Energy Solutions, that includes weatherization.

An energy assessment visit to weatherize your home could possibly save you significant dollars in heating or cooling costs.

During the in-home visit, authorized contractors make on-the-spot energy improvements, such as:

Sealing gaps and spaces around openings, between joists, etc.
Installing energy-saving LED light bulbs
Installing water-saving showerheads and faucet aerators
Performing health and safety tests on heating equipment

At the end of the visit, they may recommend additional energy-saving opportunities, and provide renters and homeowner’s with a report detailing the home’s performance before and after the service

I encourage you to consider taking advantage of this service. For more information, please visit www.energizect.com or call 1-877-WISE-USE.
