Improving the way you use energy can

- protect the environment
Clark Public Utilities, Clark County, and the City of Vancouver have joined together to offer a pilot energy conservation program for eligible homes and businesses in the Hazel Dell area and Fourth Plain corridor, thanks to $1 million in federal stimulus funding awarded by the state.
The program will get underway in March when Hazel Dell neighborhood volunteers will canvass the pilot area between Northeast Minnehaha and Northeast 68th streets east of Interstate 5.
In Rose Village and Fourth Plain Village, staff from Americans Building Community and volunteers will canvass these neighborhoods in the pilot area, which is bounded by I-5, SR 500, Burnt Bridge Creek, and Fourth Plain.
Volunteers will share energy conservation information and schedule an energy audit, which could lead to financial assistance for weatherizing homes and small businesses of those who meet eligibility requirements.
A Clark Public Utilities energy counselor will provide an energy conservation kit along with a complete analysis of qualifying homes and businesses. The analysis will provide a detailed energy consumption report and customized action plan for efficiency improvements. The audit will identify ways to save money and energy, and include a list of available cash incentives for efficiency improvements. Among the conservation improvements are:
- installation of insulation
- duct sealing
- air sealing
The program is open to those who live in the targeted areas with combined household incomes that are above requirements for low-income weatherization programs. For a family of four, that's $3,675 a month. For a two-person household, the minimum is $2,428.
This program will pay for some energy conservation measures. Clark Public Utilities has weatherization and appliance rebates, as well as low-interest loans for additional improvements.
Check the eligibility criteria and, if you meet all three, please call 360-992-3345.
