Community Energy Services (CES), is a program dedicated to reducing energy in Minneapolis homes, is working hard to refocus homeowners toward thinking about their energy use.   Already implemented in over 4,000 Minneapolis homes, CES aims to lower energy consumption, therefore lowering utility bills.  Following a free workshop where homeowners learn valuable money saving strategies, homeowners choose whether they would like to receive a home visit from two of Center for Energy and Environment’s energy professionals for a co-pay of only $30 and a value of $400!
At this home visit, energy and money saving materials may be installed including programmable thermostats, compact fluorescent light bulbs, high efficiency showerheads and various other products so the homeowner is left with immediate means to reduce energy use. Blower door and combustion safety tests will also be performed allowing the homeowner the knowledge of how their home is performing on both a safety and functionality level.Â
Altogether, CES provides an enormous opportunity to Minneapolis residents by helping homeowners save money on energy bills instantly, as well as giving advice on investments including energy efficiency upgrades such as heating and insulation.
