“My experience with the Energy Smart program has been nothing but positive. I received the free home assessment where they checked to see how energy efficient my home was. I received free LED lights and other energy-efficient equipment. They discovered that I needed to have my air ducts and attic sealed, so they put me in touch with one of their contractors to complete the work, and now I’m about have my windows and doors sealed. The Energy Smart technicians were very professional, did their jobs well and answered all my questions.”
Hannah Kramer
Residential participant
“I had a great experience with the Energy Smart program. Someone came to my house to do an energy assessment and went over in detail things I could do to improve my energy efficiency. They provided me with LED light bulbs, power strips with surge protectors, and they put me in contact with a contractor who could help me further reduce my energy usage at no cost to me. The contractor added weatherstripping to my drafty doors and ran tests on my ductwork to ensure there were no leaks. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. It’s great to know I’m reducing my energy consumption, and it didn’t cost me anything extra.”
