In partnership with the CT Energy Efficiency Fund and the United Illuminating Company, we are happy to offer free home energy audits to New Haven residents through the Home Energy Solutions (HES) program. Ordinarily, HES has a $75 co-pay, but as part of the Elm City Green and Healthy Homes Initiative this co-pay has been waived for New Haven residents. Typical energy savings from an HES audit is $500 over the first two years.

At least 25% of the energy auditors performing Home Energy Solutions energy audits as part of the Elm City Green and Healthy Homes Initiative are New Haven residents, consistent with the City's goals of promoting workforce development and green jobs.

Note: Please sign up NOW! The program is available on a first-come, first-served basis as funds are available.
