Weatherization Program
In partnership with local agencies, and the U.S. Department of Energy, the Governor’s Energy Office (GEO), offers Colorado’s low-income residents the opportunity to access free cost-effective energy efficiency services through its Weatherization Program. This program gives low-income residents the ability to save money on their energy bills by learning about and implementing energy efficient measures.
Colorado residents can apply for these services by requesting a free home energy audit. A home energy audit is a custom evaluation of the most appropriate cost-saving measures, including, but not limited to, insulation, appliance replacement and overall building durability. The free audit determines which of these measures will best improve the home’s energy efficiency and result in the highest possible energy savings.
The benefits of this free program include lower energy costs, a more comfortable living environment, improved health and safety, the reduction in fossil fuel emissions, slowing climate change and aiding in the preservation of our many depleted natural resources for future generations.
