Colorado Energy $aving Partners program
The
Governor's Office and Energy Management and Conservation (OEMC), in
cooperation with SourceGas, other Colorado utilities and the Colorado
Energy Assistance Foundation, fund the Energy $aving Partners program,
which provides cost-effective household energy efficiency or
'weatherization" upgrades to low-income, senior and
physically-challenged Coloradans.
A
few simple home improvements can save a homeowner 20 percent on their
monthly utility bills. According to a recent survey by Public Service
Company of Colorado, one out of four residents who receive
weatherization services experience a 37 percent reduction in their
heating costs. Weatherization upgrades not only help lower monthly
utility bills and reduce energy consumption, but they increase the
overall comfort and safety of the home. Eligible housing types include
single-family houses, mobile homes and multifamily units - both renters
and homeowners. Individuals who receive benefits from a number of
low-income assistance programs, such as LIHEAP, SSI, TANF and COAP
automatically qualify to receive E$P services.
Since
E$P began in 1976, it has successfully provided more than 60,000
Colorado homes with weatherization services. More than 3,000 homes are
weatherized each year by local service agencies located in communities
throughout the state.
To find out if you or someone you know is eligible for no-cost weatherization services, call toll-free
1-888-HEATLINE (1-888-432-8546). Your local service agency can answer questions about the program and assist with the application process.
