Neighborhood Energy Service

Save Energy, Save Money with Neighborhood Energy Service!

This program is complete, if you would still like to sign up for a home visit please call 651-328-6220, program discount rates no longer apply.

St. Paul residents are saving money and energy by participating in Neighborhood Energy Service. The program, a joint effort by Metro CERT and the Neighborhood Energy Connection, educates residents about energy use and then sends a crew to their home to install basic energy saving materials. Once doors have been weather stripped, light bulbs changed, and thermostats replaced average participants have been saving over $130 per year on their energy bills. Plus as a special bonus, participants will receive personal energy reports in the mail after their home visit and are eligible for an additional rebate on larger retrofits (up to $400).

This program is moving neighborhood to neighborhood throughout St. Paul, and you can participate too! Please RSVP to Carl at 612-455-9173, or email carls@eurekarecycling.org.

Materials installed may include:

• Weather stripping (2 doors)
• CFLs
• Low flow showerheads
• faucet aerators
• hot water heater blanket
• programmable thermostat

Must attend workshop to qualify for discount. Program only available to St. Paul residents (renters are welcome!) If you live in Minneapolis, check out our sister program here.

Program sponsored by the Environment and Natural Resource Trust Fund. Project partners include Eureka Recycling, the Neighborhood Energy Connection, Center for Energy and Environment, Xcel Energy, City of St. Paul, and Minnesota Conservation Corps.
