New Residential Energy Audit Program coming to Rochester!

RPU and Minnesota Energy Resources have teamed up with the Center for Energy and Environment to offer Rochester homeowners the Neighborhood Energy Challenge, a new full-service residential energy program that will be launched in the fall of 2010.

The Neighborhood Energy Challenge will provide:

• FREE educational workshops to educate homeowners how to lower their energy use and save money;
• Installation materials such as compact fluorescent light bulbs, low-flow showerheads, gasket seals and more to help participants save now;
• Customized home energy visits from qualified professionals who will identify additional ways for residents to save in their homes, including a blower door test. Up to $300 in services and materials for a co-pay of only $40;
• Information on financing, incentives, rebates and tax credits for those wishing to complete larger projects.
