Save Energy and Money! 

Attend a free energy workshop and learn about easy ways to save energy in your home.

    

 

Community Energy Services, CES, is a one-stop residential energy program.  

 

CES begins with FREE educational workshops where you learn low-cost, no-cost ways to save energy in your home. Next, schedule a customized home energy visit where you receive up to $400 in services and materials for a co-pay of only $30! To make it even better, CIDNA NRP funds will reimburse the co-pay for the first 100 homeowners who participate, giving you a $400 value for FREE!

 

CIDNA is competing for $5,000 in grant funds based on neighborhood participation and we need you to help us win!
