Home energy checkup now available to all Delawareans

Energize Delaware recently announced the expansion of its Home Energy Checkup and Counseling program to all Delawareans. Previously targeted toward limited-income Delawareans, the program has seen tremendous growth in recent months as Energize Delaware has been training additional contractors in preparation for the expansion.

HEC2 is offered at no additional cost and provides a one-hour, in-home appointment, installation of energy-saving products, and counseling on ways to save energy and access potential available resources. The goal of the program is to reduce energy consumption, lower utility bills, and make homes more comfortable and efficient.

“This program has long been considered the gateway into other programs and helps to break down siloed resources for individuals,” said Drew Slater, executive director of Energize Delaware. “An in-home HEC2 appointment is a fast and easy way to increase energy efficiency and start saving immediately. After all, the cheapest and cleanest energy is the energy we don’t consume.”

The program expansion will be effective immediately and provide an average of $240 in direct-install measures to customers, such as LED lighting, showerheads, dusk-to-dawn outdoor lights, pipe wrap, door sweeps, furnace filters, smart power strip surge protectors and more.

Energize Delaware offers energy-efficiency and renewable energy programs that help Delawareans reduce their carbon footprint by promoting sustainable energy solutions for a thriving environment and economy. To learn more, go to EnergizeDelaware.org.
