Connecticut residents, who are customers of the Connecticut Light and Power Company (CL&P), can make their homes more energy efficient while helping Operation Fuel keep another family’s home warm this winter.
Competitive Resources Inc. (CRI) will make a $25 donation to Operation Fuel for every CL&P customer who schedules a home energy assessment in support of the non-profit energy assistance program through April 15. Operation Fuel is a private, non-profit statewide program that provides emergency energy assistance to lower-income working families and elderly residents who are in financial crisis and not eligible for energy assistance from government-funded programs.
“Having a home energy assessment is a wonderful way to conserve energy and save money for your household, while helping another family stay warm this winter. There are many families and senior citizens who, through no fault of their own, are struggling to pay their energy bills. Some recently have lost jobs or are retirees living on a limited income. Operation Fuel’s mission is to ensure that no home in Connecticut is without heat this winter,” explained Operation Fuel’s Executive Director Patricia Wrice.
For a co-pay of $75, which is subject to change, CL&P customers who participate in Home Energy Solutions (HES) will receive an average of $700 in services and installed products that will help make their homes more energy efficient and lower their energy bills by an average of $200 annually.
The statewide HES program is administered by electric utility companies in Connecticut, including CL&P, through funds provided by the Connecticut Energy Efficiency Fund. CRI of Wallingford, Conn., is an authorized Home Energy Solutions provider for all participating electric, gas, and municipal utilities in Connecticut. During the home energy assessment, CRI’s certified technicians will make energy saving improvements that includes identifying and sealing air leaks and drafts, installing improved lighting, analyzing appliances and insulation, installing water-saving devices and more.
CL&P customers can schedule an appointment by calling 888-403-3500 or by going to www.criprograms.com. CL&P must approve all applications and the offer is subject to the availability of funding from the Energy Efficiency Fund. This offer is only valid and redeemable at the time of the HES services. When calling to schedule a home energy assessment, customers should have their CL&P account number available and mention Operation Fuel.
