Public Service of New Hampshire (PSNH) has expanded its Home Energy Audit program to include homes that use any type of heating fuel. PSNH's Home Energy Audit program is now "fuel neutral," meaning that homes using any type of heating fuel may be eligible for the program.
By contributing $100, eligible participants can benefit from a "whole house" energy audit (worth $450), including a blower-door-guided air infiltration test, as well as a safety inspection of combustible appliances. Once the audit is complete, you will receive an assessment of your home's energy-efficiency opportunities, along with a report outlining a list of recommended improvements and their costs. Program participants are eligible for up to $4,000 in rebates to help pay for recommended efficiency measures.
Opportunities for improvement often include adding additional insulation to the basement or attic; air sealing; improving lighting and water savings; and upgrading heating and cooling equipment.
If you or someone you know is interested in lowering their energy bill this winter, please visit our website at www.psnh.com and click on the "Home Energy Audit" link, or call PSNH at 1-800-662-7764. - Downtown Parking Ordinance Effective Nov. 1st
