Learn how to reduce your energy use and save money! The Audubon Neighborhood Association has teamed up with the Center for Energy and Environment, CenterPoint Energy and Xcel Energy to offer Audubon homeowners Community Energy Services, CES, a full service residential energy program.

The program will not only provide you with information about reducing your energy use by installing low-cost/no-cost measures in your home, but it will also provide you with the tools and financing necessary if you are ready to make larger investments such as insulation, sealing bypasses and installing new windows.

Community Energy Services Provides:

• FREE educational workshops to teach homeowners how to lower their energy use and save money;
• Materials which may include: low flow showerheads, setback thermostats, compact fluorescent light bulbs, gasket seals, door sweeps, faucet aerators, pipe insulation and attic hatch weather-stripping to help participants save now;
• Customized home energy visits from qualified professionals who will identify additional ways for residents to save in their homes, including a blower door test. Up to $400 in services and materials for a co-pay of only $20, however ANA will pay for the first 150 homeowners to sign up, giving you a $400 value for free!
• Personalized energy use inventory for the last 12 months and feedback for the next 12 months to show the homeowner how these hassle-free upgrades resulted in decreased energy use, also allowing participants to compare their energy use to that of the average participant in the program;
• Financing, incentives, stimulus money and rebate information will be available for those wishing to complete larger projects such as insulation or a furnace replacement.

Workshops will be held at The Salvation Army (2727 Central Ave. NE) on Thursday, February 4th, 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. OR Saturday, February 6th, 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.
