The Elm City Green and Healthy Homes Preview has two available programs:

1. Free Home Energy Solutions Energy Assessment:

The Home Energy Solutions program is completed by an approved contractor of the CT Energy Efficiency Fund. The following is a list of measures implemented by the energy audit:

• A home energy assessment including a blower-door test which pinpoints critical drafts and air leaks. After they are found, the technician will professionally seal them during the visit.

• A duct test to assess air leaks within the ductwork system. The technician will seal those significant leaks.

• Hot water-saving measures including low-flow showerheads and faucet aerators will be installed.

• Rebates up to $500 for qualifying HVAC systems and up to $200 for replacement of certain inefficient appliances with qualifying energy-efficient models.

• Installation of energy-efficient compact fluorescent light bulbs.

• Incentives for insulation upgrades (gas, oil, propane and electric heated homes only)

• A “kitchen table wrap-up” where the technician will review the work that was done in your home and tell you about additional resources that can help you save energy and money

2. Free Programmable Thermostat:

For income-eligible households, the Yale Community Carbon Fund will provide a free programmable thermostat during the energy assessment. Note: A home energy assessment is required at the same time as this service. The availability of the free programmable thermostat is subject to funding availability and may stop at any time.

3. Free Street Tree:

The Urban Resources Initiative will plant a street tree in front of your home if the location is suitable. The tree will require occasional watering.
