FREE Energy Assessments & Upgrades

From Kevin Kane, Green Homeowners United:

The City of La Crosse is offering ENERGY ASSESSMENTS AND UPGRADES, together with union contractor Green Homeowners United,

What is offered:
  • A no-cost energy assessment that identifies how to best save energy, and can unlock between $5,000-$24,000 in additional subsequent funds for the home for upgrades like insulation, heat pumps, electrical upgrades and more. Often times the projects are fully funded by these additional funds!
  • Immediate no-cost home upgrades that save energy right away, including sealing of air leaks identified in the energy assessment that make the house too drafty, installation of LEDs, and improvements to the HVAC ductwork to better help it heat/cool rooms to save energy and be more comfortable.
What are the requirements:
  • Property must be located in the City of La Crosse
  • Single family homes and duplexes only
